very nice high key image! I like most of it, there isn't much background seperation but that is a problem you can get into to. trying using another light to seperate the subject from the background and gain a 2 to 1 ratio. good overall, really stands out from the rest of the challenge 8

very interesting shot. great use of that flash! the black and white only adds to the shot. I would mabey watch where your placements are, it does look like you have a head growing out of your face. overall great shot though.

wow, had to really look at that for a second. great shot. lighting is done well. exposure looks to be just a tad under exposed but not by more than a half a stop. overall great picture

I love the compostion! nice use of leading lines! the lighting is a little off, and the color balance is very warm. I think the lighting ratio (the exposure of the light compaired to the exposure of the dark) could use some improvement too. mabey use a white bounce card on the right to return some of the light. The gutiar is great and the expression is wonderful. it's not tac sharp but I think that is ok for this shot. the triangular compostion betwen the face hands and head stock is great though. his watch in his sleave is a little distracting though. I think overall a great job though. I'm glad you tried this. keep shooting! 7

very intersting shot. I like it a lot. the light on the right side is too close and blowing out the side of her head. the perspective and facial reactions are great though. I am so glad you went for this shot. the free study was starting to get boring to look at. 9

very interesting subject. exposure is decen on the main part but the background is a little over exposed. this looks like a cool place to shoot. I encourage you to visit 4 or 5 times and try to photograph it in a way that normal people wouldn't

looks too smooth. the image loses it's integrity with the amount of editing that it looks like has been done here. I love your Idea though. the eyes are great, and the vail across the face is very classic. I would watch the lights in her eyes, it almost becomes the focal point in this picture. again though, great job overall 7
