This is a wonderful, seemingly casual & unplanned portait. Very genuine and natural looking. I might like to see the right cropped in to her shoulder, but then again, I might not! :-) 8

maybe more of a "fashion" shot than a portrait, but I still like it. if the wall on the right can be brought in just a bit, might be worth a try. 7

Pretty In Pink

this is both intriguing and vaguely unpleasant--a lovely subject, well composed, but a really unflattering image--kind of a formaldehyde, corpsified flesh sorta look to it that troubles me. This is an extremely well executed out-of-the-box approach to this challenge, so it gets a 7 from me. I would love to score it higher, but I guess it is just off-putting enough that I can't. I would love to see this re-interpreted in an out-takes thread, or in your portfolio.

kinda subversive, also has a "feed me, Seymour!" look too. :-) But I try to block that last, and just enjoy how beautiful this is.

I don't see any problem with the sky--in this case, the image draws the viewer in and the sense of luminosity is enhanced by the brightness in the distance.
