Beautiful. I like the framing, the model's expression, and the softness of the hair. Wish the hair could be that soft but still have the eye tack sharp.

Three Hmong Dolls

This photo speaks to me on so many levels. I just about cry at the love the little girl has for her rag doll. Here in the states, last friday was the busiest shopping day of the year with parents frantic to get the perfect hot item gift for their kids, many of whom will be glad they have the status that goes with being the owner of the item, but will have very little appreciation for the item itself. By contrast, this little girl shoves some corn husks into an old stocking, and then just pours love into the doll she has created. So very poignant. You should seriously submit a portrait to National Geographic. I'm continually impressed with your work.

Very pretty and well composed. I like the softness, but the tones seem a bit flat to me. Perhaps a bit more contrast?

Eddy - this idea could have been recycled for a killer placement in implied lines. My eyes totally draw her body. Fabulous!

Wow that's fabulous. A great use of selective desaturation (this coming from someone who typically can't stand it). Terrific.

This is very well done. It definitely takes the mundane and industrial and makes it interesting and artistic. Great job with the tones - I have such a tough time with that.

Terrific. I've been browsing your portfolio after coming across one of your portraits. This is quite well done, especially as you've just begun experimenting with duotones. The tonality and contrast of this photo really accentuate the composition. Very nicely done.

Wow. This is just fantastic. I've been looking at it for 20 minutes. I love the way you've made the girl (who in my imagination is the painter) look painted, while keeping the realistic element of the paintings themselves. Worthy of hanging.
