Beautiful portrait, beautiful model. The only problem I can reckognize here, is the amazing competition at hand. You have to get more pizazz out of your photo to place high. IMO, the white background could be better, it takes away from her beautiful brown skin. Also, a brown skin person has an amazing advantage with jewelry. IMO, gold, diomands, and maybe even pearls never look better than on brown skin, perhaps something like that could of been incorporated for more pop.

A big gold looped earring, a nice bright choker, but not white. And a changing of the background to a more settle solid color, and dim the lights. I dont know if it'd work, but I'd certainly love the challenge. All this, and I'm still giving the photo at hand a 7.

He played for my Redbirds. GO CAIRO, we still love you back here in St.Louis. Great player, great portrait. GL.

Portrait

This has the potential of an A+++ portrait. The colors seem flat, and need to be jazzed up a bit. Not changing the colors or anything, but jazzing them up with levels, or curves would probably do the trick. BTW, beautiful model. GL.

IMO, IMO <---which is almost worthless most of the time, LOL. Dodge, and burn the hell out of the barn, and give his face a bit more light. GL.

Terrific shot. One striking similar to the 3rd or 4th place photo in the first color portrait challenge. It may of been 5th, I don't remember as its been a while, but if you look back you will see it too. Nothing to deviate from thinking this will do the same. GJ, and GL.

Delightful. Very nice. The maple leaf jersey...a bit off in the mood, but not enough to subtract even a .5 of a point. A treasurable shot. GL.

A good portrait obviously, but IMO her eyes seem over-processed. I was also wondering if the blues (foreground, and background) wouldn't be better off as contrasting colors instead of matching. It might of given it more pop. Still a good photo, very good. GL.

This a gorgeous shot, and it haves plenty of pop, as I noticed it among many others. Very cool.
