Desert Palms Country

I think all the typing will do this one in. The palm isn't so bad and the post processing is ok for the challenge. The typeface is boring(sorry) and all the extra stuff doesn't add to the theme for me. Maybe there is an inside joke that goes with this, but I don't get it.

Darling Precious Corrupted

Sorry you didn't get the update on the title. Hope it doesn't lower your score. She does look like each of the words you used. She has very expressive eyes and such a lovely pouty mouth, I would have liked to see them closer and with more detail. The picture has noise. I don't know if that was intentional so it will not effect your score but I think it would have looked better without it. The blown highlights have probably been mentioned a lot but I don't mind them.

DPC - Demerging Personality Conflict

I like the opposing "woman in veil" theme of this photo. The dirt lends an especially striking contrast even though it is something I personally dislike. But because it is so bold and so "not pretty", I will give you a 10.

I like it. Simple, but it really reinforces the name of the band.

Good concept, well executed. The only thing that could be improved,imo, is the shadow on the side. I would have liked to see the color extend all the way to the edge.

Dark Priestess of the Choir

I would have liked a solid dark background and a square format but it is a decent enough portrait with excellent lighting. There is a faint green tinge in her skin tone that could be easily corrected.
Is she the woodland fairy? I usually take off points when someone gives away their entry in the forums. It's not fair to the other people that try to keep their entries anon. magnetic9999?

Good job controlling the background light. Interesting that the lighting is soft. With a subject like this it might have seemed cliche to use direct hard lighting but this choice gives a whole other mood. It makes him approchable in spite of the tattoos covering his body. I like the pov also. All together, your choices created a good character study.

Six O'Clock Shadow

One of the nice things about photography is we get another chance to get it right sometimes. Unless you live a long way away from where this was taken, you can always go back at another time and redo it. Some pros wait for years to take a good picture of a location they like. I think this one deserves another chance for all of the reasons you mentioned.

Storm is Coming

I like this. I can almost see the light/rain rays coming down from the clouds. I think if you worked a little more with curves and dodging/burning, you would be able to bring them out even more. There's a really long one running down on the right side of the palm.

I like this the best of all your women. She looks alert and smart. The way she is looking back makes me feel like I just walked into the room. Very comfortable.
edit. I just looked at the portraits. They are excluded form the above comment.
