The focus here just doesn't work; no single element seems to be wholly in focus. And the verticle line down the right side really detracts.

Excellent capture! The tonal range and subtlies are amazing - total mastery of the light, here. Just wow!

God, they don't make them like this anymore. Ol' DC-3s will fly forever. Excellent capture, good composition! 8

I had no idea that you could even SEE this sort of thing! Wow, very cool, and an excellent shot of it. Might have liked a more interesting foreground subject to ground it. I'll have to try this.

I really like this as an example of an excellent landscape that doesn't need to be blindingly vibrant. The muted tones and color have an incredible range and blend smoothly, giving it an extra punch of emotion - soft and quiet. I'm a big fan of the composition, as well, although I might have added just a hair more grass at the bottom, so the verticle posts didn't seem quite so crowded against the bottom edge.

I'm sorry, but this is so blurred that it is impossible to determine what it is a photo of. In addition, appears to have a negligible painted-light effect.

There's a strange aura to this one, the girls in black with bone necklaces! Nice job with the beam of light cutting across their faces. It's not the strongest in your series, but it is interesting.

This is a really pretty, almost classical pose, but I have to agree with some of the other comments, in that her skin looks way too orange and plastic-like. Ease off on those two things, and this will become even more stunning.

This is interesting because it's unusal, and I think that's a real strengh for it. Excellent lighting, I like how the side of her face just merges into the BG. The color stripe at the bottom is a nice touch, picking up the green from her eyes.

Nice composition, simple but effective. I like the single eye, and the blue eyeshadow compliments the red very well. Well lit, but the white background appears to have taken on a warm color cast, which you might want to lighten a bit so it doesn't compete with her flesh tones as much.
