Nice. Not sure it would help, but moving the background back physically might help blur it a little help it focus attention on the subject a little more.

This model looks an awful lot like EddyG's "Jennifer" so, full marks to you for good taste. Only suggestion here is that the similarity between the background and the hair looses a little possible impact of the great haircolor. The expression on the model is priceless: large amounts of patience and a good nature are what this photo seems to be saying.

In short: Nicely done.

A little sharper focus on the eyes and a little less depth of field would have made this much stronger competition entry given the competition. As a general portrait, I like this alot, and think that the background and dress color work really well together.

The soft focus doesn't help this in my opinion, but everything else is quite good.

This has got to be one of the most fun shots in the competition. The title really works as well. More definition on the eyes might have helped a little.

Having the eyes match the background adds a lot to this image. It offsets the somber look on the model quite nicely.

I think this is a nearly perfect child portrait. Personally, I wouldn't have used wet hair, but that is a small suggestion. You made the skin tones look perfect, and that is what creates the Wow factor I think.

I like everythng about this except the grain. The pose is great and the expression matches the title perfectly.

That background idea is so clever, I think it distracts a little from the portrait, which is very well done on its own: good choice of dark shirt to balance the light skin tones, great expression, and good pose. -8

Great pose and facial expression. The might be just a little too much light on her right arm and forehead. But, that might just be the contrast from the dark outfit, I'm not good enough at portraits to know. I hope you do well with this shot, as it is very well done overall.
