Simpler shots need to be absolutely perfect to get any merit with the dpc crowd.. The composition seems kind of tight.. so more negative space would be good.. and light definitely too dull.. if you don't have any great light sources take things outside.. I can see the dof is actually shallow and not out of focus as it may seem the first time around but the light doesn't allow us to view it in full glory.. and I don't like the background colour.. takes away prominence away from the subject..

I think the self potraits you've got in your portfolio are fine as they are.. The lighting, focus, composition is really quite good.. but the edit takes away from the naturalness of the pictures.. Trying to do more glamourous edits, with the blurring, won't work for what is an ourdoor, less contrived shot. Blurring is better for head shots, and more fashion stuff.. and the vignetting isn't as subtle as I'd like.. the black seems more obvious.. so a lighter touch would be better..

Very pretty girl.. I think you've got the right idea that she's perfect for lighter, high key pictures.. normally I would ask for more contrast and want the picture to have more defined whites and blacks but here I think you should go high key.. take the levels up to make the picture lighter.. She has lovely eyes and I would like for you to bring them out and make them the focus..

really really like the slant of the bird and the fact that he's looking straight at the camera.
