Unhappy inside, One more pose!

The bright side of her face looks a bit overexposed. And the material in the background would be less distracting with a shallower DOF (but that won't eliminate the door frame and the lamp from behind her head).

On edge

Your model seems to have no discernible detail left on their face. I think that this image would have more tension if the person was standing above the steeper-looking edge of the boulder that's closer to the water.

I really like the composition of this image. The wisp of hair that's touching her right cheek is fine, but the hair covering her eye is a bit distracting. The bright blue collar of her shirt that's peeking into the frame leads my eyes out of the image. I like the amount of space below her chin, so burning out the collar would probably be better than a tighter crop. It may just be a trick of the light, but it looks like she's chewing on her bottom lip. The faint smile and speckled catchlight are great. You did a good job of using the available natural light. The illumination on the dark side of her face is just right (or so it seem on my non-color/brightness calibrated monitor). Did you have to use a reflector, or was this all done with light directly from the window?

I find the grass in the foreground distracting. Sometimes objects in the foreground add context and give greater significance to the focal point, but that doesn't seem to be the case here.

The burden of life

It looks like she's dressed in a yeti costume from the neck down :). Nice expression, but a little more light on the subject's face would have been nice. The DOF seems to be the right width, but it's centered on her yeti suit, not her face.

A little laugh

The flash has blown out all of the detail in his teeth and caused a distracting hotspot in the background. The crop emphasizes his mouth and the candid feel of the shot.

Face of fury

Comment:
The mouth and crinkled nose look angry, but the outside corners of his eyes look too relaxed for this to feel believable to me. The strong shadows, rough facial hair and high contrast between his teeth and the black background support the abrasive emotional tone of the image.

Jumping For Joy
by beautyqn25

Comment:
Since her feet are outside of the frame it's hard to tell if she's jumping or just standing on something higher than the camera. "Standing on top of the world" conveys the same general mood, and fits the image a bit better. In either case, this is still a strong picture. The strong shadows are less than ideal, but it's not a major concern in this case.

Anger, The Flame Within Us All

Comment:
The high contrast between the shirt and both the background and the subject's face seems to dominate the image. If having him wear a different / no shirt is not an option, adjusting the curves or judicious cropping might eliminate this effect. The reddish cast underscores the theme, and the monotones do a good job of bringing out the visual textures in your model's skin.

The hotspot in the top corners are a bit distracting. The DOF seems a bit too narrow.
