Doesn't meet the challenge brief. Good luck. ;)

Image is not very engaging due to the lack of a clear focal point. That's to say that I don;t know what your purpose is with this one.

Very well done as far as posing and the background. Both are classic and well executed. The lighting seems a bit harsh though and slightly off for some reason. The right side of her face doesn't have a shadow but almost seems a bit darker for some odd reason. But I like it, the more I look at it, the more I like it. I started a 5 with this one because of the lighting but am going to a 7

I like the simple subtle subdued lighting in this shot. Good job of matching the background with her eyes. Could use a touch more catchlight in her eyes and maybe a touch of hairlight. Nice shot overall.

I like this portrait alot. The background is very good and I like how the lighting comes from below. Nice expression from the model, good job!

On my monitor it seems a bit bright for the mood I think you're trying to evoke; otherwise I like idea, composition, background, detail. etc.....

Comment by Olyuzi:
This portrait is excellent but I don't get the impression of your model being a dreamer from her somber and sad look. The lighting is really wonderful and skin tones and color are very good. Maybe a different pose (say with her head resting on her arms?) would express a dreamer to me. Technically very well done.

The unusual composition makes this a study of shapes and angles which gives the image added interest..also nicely lit.

Beautiful shot with perfect lighting. My only nitpick is that the crop in the top left corner makes her head seem a bit misshapen, but that's just an optical illusion. Still, might look better with either a tighter or wider crop. Otherwise, absolutely wonderful shot - one of the best in the challenge.

Lighting: The lighting is nice and evenly distributed over what it is intended to be on. The only thing I would have changed would be to add a catchlight, the blue would have sparkled, giving the eyes a much needed spark of life.
Pose: Frankly I do not care for the expression or the hair to the right of her face. The expression does not say dreamer to me.
Background: The background is perfect. It is blurred out well, and matches her eyes.
