You might think about getting people to remove sunglasses (or at least flip them up onto their head) in shots like this. With her wearing them, and the boy without, it throws in a contrast that is a little unsettling. Also, I concur with the previous comments. Try to play around with curves on a layer mask.

Comment by K3Master:
A nice candid. In shots like this, it's always nice to try and frame them so you have more negative space in front of the model than in the back, as it's a natural composition for the way humanity is, and the way we see things. We like to follow where the eyes go, or where people face. It's not always possible, of course, but it's something I find that I've forced myself to try and do until it comes almost naturally. Not that there can't be exceptions, but in this case I really think it would make for a stronger shot compositionally.

This is quite beautiful, makes me feel sad, like the tree is bent over and crying.

Nice composition and nice expressions, but I agree with Karmat that it needs to be lightened and brightened.

Another beautiful model, I like the composition, and agree with the comments regarding a bit too much red on her face.

She is a beautiful model, and has a 'Mona Lisa' thing happening with that enigmatic smile...and I agree with Melethia's advice for processing.

I really like the cropping on this one, and the relaxed look that they both have.

I think the faces could be even a bit more bright/more contrasty. They just seem kinda flat.

Beautiful all the way. Love the story and just the way the picture is, but I know nothing of portrait photography, just that I like the subtle quality of the light painting your model's features, which seems to fit the story of just emerging from braces/youth.

I like the shot. Maybe titling it for an "E". (near the bottom of the photo.) I like the color though.
