Lovely model. I like the way her head turns and her hair cascades. The PP of her skin is just a bit over the top for me. I find myself wondering what the object is behind her and to her right.. It's somewhat distracting. Sitting in front of the digital frame just doesn't do a lot to the image for me. Very good image.

This is really really unpleasant - all the worst things about glossy magazine portraiture over done to extremes. The bizarre bordering, the soft-focus, the smoothing (or whatever it is), the weird shadows around her knees, the slightly peculiar expression. It's just got no connection with any kind of world, real or imagined, that holds any appeal for me. Damn, you've even got a soft-focus effect on your border! Maybe it isn't soft focus. Maybe it's some other kind of glow effect or something.

Beyond my personal distaste for it (I'm not just being rude, I think it's important that opinion is heard), i guess it's pretty well executed. I wonder if that glow might be too much even for fans of this stuff - it is, I think, perhaps just too strong - giving a feel of odd focus rather than a simple effect. The glow on the border likewise perhaps just draws the eye too much - especially on the left of frame, where the unmade bed (or whatever) is sliding quite nicely into darkness otherwise. And her expression is a touch uncomfortable - she doesn't seem at ease with this world you've made for her. I'll be intrigued to see how the site rates it though.

This is so soft, makes me feel as if I'm wearing the wrong specs. Colour and lighting good.

I don't dislike this shot. I do dislike the crop. It just feels as if half the truck is chopped. The mud, the girl, the light, the color all very good.

I like the tones and the hair capture, not entirely sure about the softness.

A cliche in many ways, from pose to processing. But if you are going that route, then do it well. You have, IMO (even if it is not really my taste in photos). 8.
