Lovely (self portrait, yes?). This could easily be an eyeglasses advertisement. I know this is fairly straightforward, but I think it is my challenge favorite.

I'm fairly certain you won a challenge about a year ago with a very similar shot, yes? Anyway, I hope this does well for you, too. Your catch of her iris pattern is beautiful. I'm more and more suspect of "letterbox" frames as I think they lend something to the photos that aren't inherent in the photo itself -- leaves me always trying to imagine the photo without the frame!

Lovely setting, I wonder if the contrasts could be a bit more dramatic, but I'm glad you didn't over-process this.

Well done! Beautiful tones and a scene AA might have photographed. I know the shadow is most likely from another peak, but it makes me think of the Overlook Hotel in The Shining.

Although Mr. Adams isn't known for his urbgan shots, I think you captured his qualities. Central Park, yes? Anyway, a high vote from me.

The "letterbox" look can add a cinematic feel to even a random snapshot, but I think you've overdone it a tad. :-p
