Really nice. I like that he's wearing the red vest, and all the other colors in the scene are just typical nature colors.

The reflections add a lot of texture to the cars, and I think they're more interesting than the cars themselves. Nice find, and nice processing as always.

Overall, it's a pretty nice portrait. I know how it feels to get a way lower score than you expect, but if the client is happy it's OK, right?

The technical things that mk mentioned are true, and I wouldn't mind seeing a little more contrast and sharpness on the face. Maybe try a little smaller radius with USM, there are some small halo issues going on.

Also, expect to be scored based on the model when you enter portraits... it might not be your fault that the model's eyes seem to face different directions or that she's overweight, but people will score it lower if it annoys them.

I like this one best. The lighting is really good, and her pose too. Not so sure about the vignetting, though.

The pose and composition are cool. I looked up the original, and I think you did well to improve it, it looks good without the motion blur.

Great River Bridge (Nightshot 3)

I like the small aperture effect on all the light sources, they look good with all the lines in the bridge. I wouldn't mind seeing a little more of the reflections in the water as far as composition goes, though.

Great job, I love the motion panning effect and the focus is great. You've gotten really good at bird photos :)

Cabin in Spring

Nice, I really like the composition. Really simple feeling even though there's all the detail in the grass and trees. This'd probably make an excellent stock photo for brochures and the like.
