bags full of character, and you've thankfully resisted the urge to draganize too. Great shot, a 10 from me.

this is just too odd for words, kudos to your models for being such good sports :)

I really dont like the feathered frame, it just makes the whole picture seem soft, and draws attention away from the subject, I think cropping to a portrait orientation would have been much more effective

Ha'Penny Bridge

Comment:
In Dublin? I think you could almost have cropped right at the bottom of the bridge, cos the water is so dark I can't see anything there. If it is the Liffey, maybe I don't want to see the water :) nice shot

Left Behind

that is very strange and very cool. My eye kept drifting to the ghostly figures on the right, and the title is very apt. nice shot :)

Mystical Gaze

wow ... beautiful model, fantastically sharp capture and the ear is just classic. Even without that touch, I think the model's expression is bewitching and mysterious enough to meet the challenge criteria. This is a 10 from me, and I don't think I will be the only one giving you the top score. Again, excellent shot.

I like the framing & composition (if that isnt the same thing :) ) and her expression is very serene. I'd like to see a shot with the model looking towards the camera too, making a connection with the viewer.

I do think the shadows on the left of the picture are too harsh, a softbox to lighten up that side of her face a little would have balanced it more.

I don't hate the background, but I don't feel it adds anything to the shot, I would have preferred a white or black background. In fact, come to think of it, this would look good in mono, I must take a look at it at home when I can check it out in B & W.

Hope I don't seem too picky, I do like the shot and what you've captured a lot.
