Nice abstract, great textures and colours. Not quite enough compositional interest for my taste, but there's a lot to like. 8

I love the abstract nature of this one. It's so calming! I love the way you made this look like a soft reflection on water. 7

Simply beautiful. This is a splendid example of impressionism and to my eye the best in challenge. I only hope the rest of those that judge can see this and select this image as the winner.

This is such an appealing shot. Her smile, the look in her eyes, and the angle of her head all contribute to giving this shot a fresh, sweet quality.

She has a sweet face, but I see some problems.
Stay with me here, I'm not a pro but learned something along the way and I am trying to help you.
If I am wrong just PM me and you can call me names :)

My eyes go imidiatly to her nose, and I think that's not a good thing.
I think you could have used a different focal lenght.
If you stand further away from your model and zoom in this would be better.(hard to explain why in just a few words, if you like to know PM me)
And try to focus on the eyes.

Nice portrait - really shines with personality - Check the threads. there is one that talks about boosting the catchlight in the eyeballs which might improve this image.
