The sharpness and focus of this is spot on. Her freckles are so prominent yet not.... I don't know how to say that LOL Great job!!

This is a beauty, worthy of framing

Really nice mood captured! I'd love to look into those eyes more though. By dodging in the highlights (of the eyes), and then perhaps burning back in some of the shadows, you will increase the emotive quality of the portrait a great deal. (I use a very low strength when dodging and burning on portraits - usually 1-3%.) I'll bet that this would also look great in black & white.

Oh, what a wonderful portrait. I really like the soft lighting, controlled background and distant gaze. Nice job on this one.

He is such a cutie. . .even if he doesn't like to look at the camera :) I think the sparkly background looks very cool!

Pouty works great for a portrait like this. I love them! The larger than life, in-your-face cropped portraits. They are my favorite kind. This is really good. The lighting is soft and enhances her great skin.

Even what she is wearing compliments the background. Great job, Margie!

I've always wanted to try something like this with the eyes. These shots make such cool photos. I love the way you've made it high key. . .and I actually like the window reflecting in her eye. . .it seems kind of artistic and symbolic. ..like "a window to her soul" or something :)

I think it is a very cool photo!

Edit: ooops. . .I don't type very well this morning :)

I can not for the life of me figure why this one finished with a 5.0 score!!! I think the pose is very exotic, and it has very nice lighting and focus. Jeeeeeez. ..the voters are so unpredictable!!!
