Good portrait. Lighting looks natural and smooth, and brings out the detail in her hair and face without overdoing it and forcing her pupils down to pinpricks.

Nice soft portrait. Love her look. Little things like the shells make it even better. 10.

Rachel is beautiful, and I like the B/W tones of this photo. You captured this perfectly, her skin makes her look just like a porcelean doll.

Unusual strength of character in such a young appearing model. What a terrific shot!

This is a very strong image which displays a strong will character. yes, there is sweetness and there is charm but the gaze is ever so steady and the mouth adds to the conviction of the eyes. In this pose I would have prefered the whole thumb showing rather than bent at the first joint. The tones are very friendly and pleasing and the loose falling hair adds a candid touch. The feeling that this is a remarkable young lady has been very well conveyed. Outside of the minor point of the thumb joint, my most critical note is in the focusing. The right eye, and the eyes are so impotant is not in focus. here you have one sharp catchlight versus a spreading one. Here dof was critical. In portrait, the eyes trump because we try to lock eyes with the subject. My current evaluation is a 6 on the strength of the character study.
