This is a great capture. Perfect lighting on the ground hog, perfect out of focus master of the ceremony in the background. This looks like "Groundhog's Day" Feb 2, here in the USA, what was the occasion for this fellow to be out?

This is a good character study. I like the lighting, and the pose. i don't feel the car is adding any value to the overall feel of the photo and therefore should have been left out.

Love the lighting you used, not too crazy about the overall composition although i like the angle of her face. Some fuzziness on the left cheek right out from her nose is a bit distracting.

Soft and lovely light. Focus on eyes as it should be. One of my favorites. Would love to hear your lighting set up. 10

The lighting and composition are very good as is the depth of field. The expression looks a bit anxious and the hat has some distracting areas in the center of her forehead.

Very abstract and original. I like this very much. The sunglasses bring it all together ! Love to here about this technique.

This is an interesting perspective. I didn't think I would likeit when i saw the thumbnail but i do. The blood vessels in her eyes are very distracting though. Great that you filled the frame with your model and lighting is right on.

Very nice lighting. Her hair is a bit distracting. Doesn't go with the smooth flow that the rest of the photo has. Beautiful color.

You have a very nice looking model. This photo could be improved by moving her at a more interesting angle, possibly getting yourself in a position a bit higher than your model. This usually gives a more flattering angle than straight on. The depth of field is very good . The shadows on her eyes not so good. The eyes should have some light in them to bring life to the portrait. You could possible use some fill flash here, if it wasn't too bright or a better choice would be a relector to bounce the light back into her face. PM me if you need any information on this technique, I would love to assit if I could.
