lol! oh boy she is a mess! tears, snot, etc. This tells a story... though without more context I have no idea what the story is. I think this might have been better serves as a black and white, the sepia seems really orange in the highlight areas.

I like how you are looking through the brush but I think it might have worked a little better without it's eye being onstructed. The colors seem really dull.

Pretty, natural image with some nice soft colors. I love the sky and the ocean. I don't really like the kind of blury soft thing you did with this, at least not for her. Maybe you could have kept it for the background and faded it out for her face.

I like this. It is simple and there is a good conection with the viewer through his eyes. His outfit and his necklace are different and coupled with the setting make me think there is a story behind this which is always a good thing. Some room for improvement: His hat could have been pushed up a bit, I hate in photos when things are really close to people's eyes. Also he seems a bit dark.

Cute expression. The crop is a bit odd and the lighting is pretty harsh.

Cute, natural capture, shows a real close connection between the subjects. The editing is nice and simple. Some room for improvement might have been to get a little more light on the faces and have her sit up a bit straighter as her head looks kind of cocked up uncomfortably.

For him to be just sitting there I think you should have brought it in a lot closer, the scenery doesn't add much to the image. If you wanted to leave it all in perhaps have him in a more active pose (running around, playing, etc) and include more mountains, less grass as the grass isn't very interesting at all.

The light here makes her skin look quite nice. My issue with this image is it doesn't show much, I think we need to be able to see more of her face and her thought process, esp with this downward angle in addition to her head turned, we lose all sight of her eyes.

The lighting is really harsh here and this is really candid for a portrait. Candids aren't always a bad thing but this is showing us very little about the model, we can't even see his face well. I think for a candid to work in this type of challenge it has to be well done and show some emotion, a laugh or a smile or even him throwing a temper tantrum.
