Well, I don't really love the background - but this is a nice capture! Neat expression!

Interesting! I like the lighting, and you have some very nice shallow depth of field.

Absolutely lovely! Beautiful... I love the colors - the coppery curls against the green. Your composition is wonderful, and the shallow DOF really adds to this picture. I love it! The only thing I might suggest is brightening it up a tad - there is nothing really white in this picture, which would help balance things a bit... so perhaps by adjusting the cuves in Photoshop you could get the highlights white. But I'm just being picky! A very sweet shot!

Cool idea! Not sure I like the red background very much, and it almost looks like the saturation is too high... but an interesting, unique shot!

haha! A hilarious expression! The lighitng is very nice here, but it looks a little grainy. Maybe lowering the ISO would help that a little bit. Cute shot!

wow! VERY awesome! A really unique idea. Not sure I like the green/yellow colors all that much, nut everything else here is really neat.

Well, it's a little bit to dark, and it looks like the saturation was too high. Maybe the biggest problem here though, is the grain. If you look in areas like her face for example, you'll see blotchy spots of color. I've had that same problem when my ISO was too high. Try lowering it a bit, and you'll end up with a smoother, less grainy image. Very good try though! I like how the subject's eyes aren't looking strait at the camera!

A neat portrait! The only thing that I can think of that might improve the shot a little, is if there was some more light on the lower, darker half of the photo. I like the added detail of the photo on the wall!

A little bit too confusing for me - the composition is so busy I realy don't know what's going on. Interesting idea though!

This is kind of a cool idea! Here's my two cents on what might help this photo out a little. :)
From what I can make out, it LOOKs like you focused on the face, instead of the hair. This is very good! But since there is so much unfocused hair in front of the focused face, it's hard to tell, and it looks like the whole picture is out of focus. :( It might be really cool if you had moved some of the hair away so there was no hair in front of the eye.
Secondly, the lighting is rather harsh. Many of the highlights look blown out and too white. I'm guessing that you used a flash? I don't know all that much about using the flash, but I think that if you use it too close, things get too bright and washed out, like in this shot.

Well, I hope that was helpful. Keep shooting! :)
