At candle light

I like your pose, gaze and the lighting and the way you've captured the candle. Good detail in your hair, beard and skin and I like the way you've used negative space. I also like the very impressive 3 dimensional look of your face...it really pops out. Nothing much I can say to improve this photo. Very engaging image and very well done. 10

I like the high key and the way your head merges with the negative space on the left. Even with the high key brightness, you've managed to capture alot of detail in your face. Well done.

Sadness

Focus is off and your expression looks to be more shock or startle than sadness. Also, I wish the glare of the lights weren't in your eyes.

What a lovely woman! I do however, think that the lighting is too bright here and that it's washed out your beautiful creamy white skin. It appears it was your intention to have your skin contrasted with the background and your lips and I think that was a good strategy, just not carried out effectively.

Also, I think the photo effectively displays your essence in that the choice of a chartruse background and your stare into the camera tells me you are bold and spirited. If this was your intention, then you have accomplished that goal.

That said, this is one of my favorite photos of the challenge and I am rooting for you to finish highly. Good luck to you.

I think the DOF here is too narrow and because the pawn is so large, you can't really tell where you are from. The glare in the background is also distracting.

Very creative pose reminiscent from the 30's and 40's. I think the lighting may be a bit too strong though. Would prefer to see more detail and texture of your skin.

The reflection in your sunglasses of your hand holding your camera kind of ruins this nice shot for me. Also, focus is soft.

Engaging photo...I like your smile and pose. Red hair is very attractive. I also like the narrow DOF that you've chosen so that your body is slightly blurry. What I would have liked to have seen is more color cooridination with what you were wearing. I don't like the blue blouse and would have preferred something less loud as it takes attention away from you and doesn't match anything in the picture, not even your eyes. Something in the warm color scheme I think would have been better. Also, bare bottomed would have been even nicer :) Nice work for a last minute shot.
