I'm sorry, but I just don't get it. I don't see portrait here, just a shot of what looks like a mask...

I understand what you are trying to do with this, but I've never been too fond of the effect. I DO like the compositioin and the emotion that come from your subjects! They look comfortable together and that is a good thing!

Very cute! Love the look in her eyes! Nicely composed. The lighting here doesn't do her justice though. Your colors are a little dull which to me means ya need more light. She also looks a little flat. Try movin' the lights around to the side a little more. You did get the catch light in the eyes spot on. Keep tryin' and post 'em so I can see!

Samantha's Challenge

Beautiful horse and lovely girl! However, this shot has a few issues that are easy to overcome as a photographer. The first one is the harsh lighting. If this wast taken during a different time of day that would help to do away with the too strang highlights and rather dark shadows. Or you could move horse rider and photographer to a more shaded area and shoot there. The girls face is hidden a little in a shadow. If you use the flash (yes, I know it was daylight out) it would help to fill in her face with light. The shot is slightly tilted which is easy to fix in photoshop.

This is probably getting slaughtered for not being in a studio. I'm having the same problem there even though mine is kind of ambiguous in setting I thought.

Hope some of this is helpfull

My what a cute boy! Unfortuately this shot doesn't do him justice. This shot suffers from unimaginitve lighting. From the harsh shadows around his face and arm on the left side of the shot, it looks like you used the on board flash. You are better off setting up a bunch of house lamps if you don't have other lights. Move them around till you get nice shadows and highlights and TURN OFF THE FLASH! You also probably need to use a tripod to get camera still enough for good sharpness.

I never have and probably never will truly appreciate these overprocessed, psychedelic looking shots...
