Exceptionally good photograph with wonderful color and lighting. Not exactly sure how it could be fit onto a magazine cover though.

Posing and coloration are good and composition meets challenge well, but I think you could have gotten better results with some fill light on her right side.

Excellent salty dog style capture with great textures and tones. Exposure is right on and DOF really isolates your subject, but I'm wondering if the background is too blurred as there is no setting to help tell a story (if there is one to be told). Still, I love this shot and will score it high.

Wonderful portrait that tells a story that is not often told. I have to give you alot of credit for entering a photo of a side of life that most people don't want to see. I love the toning and coloring and how the woman stands out against the background. Border is very appropriate for his subject. Good job.

Wonderful portrait! Your subject really matches with the costume and with the setting very well. ( I hope it is a costume...lol). Also, I love the sepia you've used and with the slight overexposure, this picture really has an old time flavor to it.

I love the composition with the sweeping curve of her hair but I don't find the green/gold toning to be all that flattering. Also, the light is a bit too strong on the nose and left cheek. You can see every wrinkle and pore on her face.

"Phenomenolgy of Spirit"

This beautiful woman with lovely flowing locks I'm sure has raised the spirits of many a man but I'm trying to figure out what embodiment of spirit she is expressing in the image. Is that spirit determination and will?; is it religious in nature?; Is it strength of character? Her look is void and so it's hard to tell and I am left with the only clue I could find, which is what appears to be a religious shawl that she is clutching. What significance this has I'm not sure but the lines of the cloth give a strong graphic element, probably the only strong point in the image. Her clothes are plain and she also suffers from being half in light and half in shadow, as well as, being underexposed and a green cast to her face. I would have preferred to have seen her wear some sort of religious or cultural/ethnic garb instead of the sweatshirt she is wearing and to have her hair brushed better.

Is the uneven and graded lighting the reason for the monitors being of different color temp?

Beautiful woman and I love the way you've framed her in the window and with the tree. I do find this image to be too busy. Though I would imagine this to be your intention, I don't like her distant stare as I find it to be almost vacant, as if she's not looking at anything in particular. Also, she is wearing too much black that is all blending together.

So much to learn.

Very cute...I love her! Her red hair is awesome. Photographically, you have mixed lighting that is casting yellow on most of your subject. (looks like daylight mixed with incandescent lighting). Her hands are of two different colored tones and I wish there were more light shining on her cute face.
