Very pretty. I like the dark color above you. The pink just doesn't seem to work. Or should I say I think a bolder color would have added more to the picture. Of course I am not a fan of the color pink.

Very nice. I like the lighting on your face, the story on your face... the composition. One thing bothers me is the focus on your eyes, but it's not that important. Good job overall :)

Nice pose and lighting. Focus is a little too soft, though. I find it helpful to put an object where I'm going to be and focus on that. I'm guessing you also used a wide aperture given the low light, and that doesn't give you much depth of field to play with. Try it with brighter light and a narrower aperture. You can always darken it in processing to return to the quieter feel you have here.

Lighting looks a tad bit harsh on the face.

Good shot, think the lighting might have been better a little more diffused but beautiful none-the-less.
