Light breaks through

I was one of your low voters and thought I would drop a comment. Here I find there is nothing for the eye to focus on. It follows the lines of the blinds across the photo and it is pretty much out of focus. It is kind of interesting that the light on each blind is a greyscale from highlight to lowlight, but there is nothing of detail to look at.

Watching the Contra Dance

I would recomend getting closer and shooting up on the man as that would serve to add strength. I know you included the mirror for context, but it should be cropped closer to the head. It's more a candid shot than a portrait I know, but I think those improvements would help this and remove the clutter from around him as well (ie. the table at the right and the can on the table left.)

It's a little blue possibly due to wrong white balance. But perhaps it is your treatment of the photo which would mean you meant it to be this way.

Great composition as a portrait. The eyes are just a little soft, not quite sharp enough. You have only shown the eyes so they should be strikingly sharp.

This needs more, such as some action in the scene, a person peeping from behind the column or something to give it a pop of color. It is shot well and I like it however it is a little static.

Such a cute baby and a well composed shot. It is just too bright... The highlights are a little overexposed on the left side of her face. The shadow is exposed well though. Perhaps exosing for the light and using a reflector to brighten up the face would work well here.

The lighting is a little flat here, somewhat two dimensional.

Good topic, however the shot is a little too brightly exposed. That spot right in the center of the left page is white hot. It's tough to expose such extreme shadow and light well, but you did a fairly good job here.
