I like the freckle, not so much the dirt. Good strong composition none-the-less. Are the eyes that bright naturally or did you dodge them that bright?

Good portrait and excellent focus on the eyes. The border may be a bit overdone for my taste

This photo is absolutely brilliant. The right cheek is a little hot, but it doesn't bleed into the background so it still helps define the curves of the subject's face. Very nicely done.

Excellent photograph. The dodging is fairly obvious around the shape of the statue but it still looks great.

That gentle halo-ing around the figure is effective, even if it feels like slightly over-doing things. I wonder whether your highlights, for web display at least, haven't been taken just the smallest touch too far - this is a very minor observation, but in such a very controlled and precise image, I think it matters. Good light, and the blue/grey tonality is very fine. It's a beautiful thing - I wonder how many folks will hit you for lack of lines? Not me ...
