Night Breath

I consider a portrait as a representation of some aspect of the subject (which I would expect to be living but I suppose doesn't have to be). While this is an interesting picture, I do not feel that I am learning anything about the subject.

Harsh lighting. Try softening it some.

Artist's Studio

Great shot. I feel like this just isn't a photo but a window into this artist's life. If I could make a few changes, I would remove the white notepad in the center bottom of the image and have the artist just a little more centered. The fisheye distorts the subject just a little too much for my taste.

Excellent composition (except for the thick tree? coming out of the top of the subjects head). I would also try to get more light on the subjects face. Maybe a reflector would help here.

The Gentle Giant

I like your creativeness in choosing black and white for this photo. It shows the two tones of the dogs fur very well. However, I find the background too light and distracting from the subject. I would try to use a different location that has a darker background or place a filter (a digital one would work here) that darkens the background.

Look Back Without Anger

Too much negative space. With the subjects right ear off the edge, it almost looks like the negative space is pushing her off. Also seems like a bit too much post-processing. The skin color doesn't look right. But I do really enjoy the gaze. It looks very natural. Good job capturing that with this photo.

Size Matters

I find the model has too many shadows on her face and neck. I also find the close foot to be too distracting. My eye always ends up wandering over to it and I don't find the bottom of the shoe is visually appealing. But on the plus side, I very much like the idea - keep working on it.

I love this shot. I find Ansel Adams minimized the clutter in his photos and yours has none. I think it should have done much better than it did. I would give it a 9. Well done.

I love the lighting on the subject except I'm thrown off by the two sparkles I see in the eyes. I somehow expect to one see one.

For those who don't quite get it, I was trying to portray how modern electrical devices cause pollution by leaking toxic chemicals into our environment.
