Sunny Day in March

Looks like early morning or late afternoon lighting here. a little bright area on the nose. I think softening this photo up would make her skin alot smoother and "flatter" the subject more. On close inspection, the right upper corner has painting circles. Blur those up a bit, so they are not as noticable.

Very nice lighting (a touch softer would work for me), but highlights the face very well. I do like you keepig the eyes blue. the range of grays is great. a touch more contrast. great job

Interesting. almost looks like a charcoal drawing. Still resembles photography to me, but you are gonna get hammered. I do like the softness of it, especially for a portrait

even though the photographic aspect of this one seems to have gone out the window, but it looks good. I would like to see a black and white of this instead.

I am not sure that this qualifys as a portrait for me, but photowise it is not too bad. Needs work on the horizon line ( a litle skewed) a slightly different angle to maybe get the pillars almost looking like mirror images, may have given a better impression to me

Has a good softness to it. bringing the subject out and away form the background would give a softer feel and get rid of the shadow. Being able to see her eyes would make this a bit better shot IMO. Also squaring up the shoulders

Which one is the doll? BOTH! Very nice capture. has a very soft feel to it, but can't really tell if filters or anything used. Lighting is great. great job.

Now this is one interesting cat. Is that Dapper Dan Pomade in his hair? sure he has enough? (C; The lighting is very harsh and bright. Makes him look very pasty in spots. the soft edge around the head and shoulders is VERY distracting and invades onto his face.

I find my eye drawn towards her ear. must be the bright area on it. I want my eyes drawn to the eye, but it is looking WAY away, to where it is hard to even distinguish a pupil. A soft focus would work on here throughout. or a larger DOF to get everything in focus (nose to eye are pretty soft compared to the L shoulder
