This is a little small to evaluate and judge, but from what I can see, it looks like a nice picture. The yellow flower could be just a little farther into the frame though as it seems a bit crowded.

Didn't your mother ever tell you you could go blind looking at things like that?

This is an exceptionally clever shot with a perfect expression from the model. I do think the lighting could have been just a little brighter.

This is a great portrait in terms of speaking about the model's character. For me, it brings back memories of playing cribbage with my grandfather and brings hope that my kids have as great a relationship with my dad. After thinking through that, I thought about how you accomplished the effect. I think my favorite parts of this photo are:

Props: Chair and storybook are absolutely spot on.
Costume: Exactly what one expects
Facial expression on model: again, spot on
Lighting seems exactly right as well, as model is perfectly lit.

The only suggestion I have is to move the dark background further back from the model. As is it is just a little distracting.

Oops, I must need to give you another point on the score. After writing this, I really like this shot. -8

This is great. I gave it a nine, because everything is well executed (lighting, makeup, focus on eyes, etc.) It would have been a 10 if she wasn't looking straight at the camera.

One last thing: those glasses are a great touch, and drive home your title, and the hairdo perfectly sopports it.

That bright white stripe on the background really distracts from her. Pose and clothing choices work well.

Background is a little busy, as she needed just a bit more space. Or cropping tightly on her makes this great, as she helped with the perfect expression.

I like this, but don't understand the negative space on the right, but the rest is quite good.

Eyes look just a little unreal on this monitor, Pose and title are perfect together.

This is well lit, well posed, and the model's expression is great. Only thing I might change is to get a different umbrella. That one is so colorful, is distracts from the model a bit.
