Interesting title for someone so obviously filled with spirit; a very pretty model. Great DOF control. My only comment is that you blew out her shoulder. This might have made good use of a portrait crop instead of the landscape view.

Beautiful bokeh! Great light, very expressive face. A top 10 shot at least!

This is super cool. The expression, the color the dof all work together. Plus the subject is interesting which makes the shot lots of fun.

Ah! Sandman's Sister! I like this, and she certainly captures that spirit very well, and is a lovely subject. You nailed the exposure and focus on her, the sense of paleness is spot-on. I presume the basic editing rules prevent it, but I would like to see the background much less bright--she should be the brightest element in the image, as she is truly luminous here. I do like the slightly off center crop to this, but you might be able to crop in from each side some, and still retain that off-center dynamic. 8

I dunno, she looks friendly in this picture, with a reasonably nice smile. "Death" is a harsh title despite her nappy hair and goth-like makeup.
