hmm from the eyes, it looks like you used to bare bulbs to light this portrait. this could have caused the somewhat harsh lighting and definied shadows on this shot. have you tried using one main/key light and then a reflector on the other side? that might provide more favorable results

nice lighting, it really makes you focus on her face. Best of Luck ;)

Nice job with the BG and the vignette effect, though I think you could have brought it in even a little tighter. I don't think the lips need to be quite so bright, either; though I like the small splashes of bright color overall, less is more in this case. : )

I might have used a slightly brighter background. Her tank top should be adjusted so that it fits better.
It's interesting though..there's something 'adult' about her. Might be a combination of the dark background, as well as her pose & serious expression. I like the fact that it's not a typical smiley kid type of image.

Very nice, a bit centered for my taste, but hey, what do I know?

unfortunately, its hard to see the blue in her eyes.

I would have croped it a it more in the bottom. Very nice and even lighting.

I would have cropped at the shoulders. The model is young and it almost seems like you are trying to make her more than a little girl (only a perception - nothing to read into it). She is strikingly pretty and the shot is very well done.

This one definitly made me stop and stare for awhile. I love her look..almst like she is trying to say something with her expression. Light and pose are great. Good luck.

I don't see any personality here.

Beautiful. Love the background with her face. The lipstick and shirt are distracting from her wonderful pose though.

This is an outstanding photo. Seriously, the composition, tones, and everything else is outstanding. Knew it was a 10 right from the thumbnail pic.

Lovely, wish she had been smiling LOL

I would have liked this to have been a bit more natural and a little less staged. That being said, your model is absolutely gorgeous! The lighting is great and brings out the shine in her hair. Well Done.

Nice portrait. If the subject had been less centered (cropped more from say, the left side) I would have scored it higher. I like the colors - she seems so serious, I just want to make her smile :) 7

Looks like a studio portrait. She's beautiful and exudes attitude through those eyes! Too bad you didn't get a little more blue POP out of her eyes to go with your title.

Nice shot, would like a tighter crop because of the fit of her shirt

I like how she looks unflinchingly into the camera.

Ouch! She is so pretty, ya need to capture that innocence. This really doesn't do her justice. Focus on the eyes instead of the shirt that doesn't fit, I don't mean to be mean, but she has such potential.3

Very nice background and lit well, however, the blue eyes do not pop out. I'm thinking that maybe if she wore a lighter blue top that covered her more if that would help.
