this is a wonderful portrait, and I only gave it a 6... :( It must have been that cheap watch. No... a momentary madness, I was hypnotized by looking through hundreds of free study photos. I saw lots of photos that I liked (I know, I'm too easy!) and I was trying to be ruthless. You have got to be one of the most underrated photographers here, but it's a role you play well. :)

This is intriguing since the cheekbones are sometimes called the "apples" of the face. :)

I like this but would have liked to have seen more of her face...

Good, clear portrait, great contrast...but I'm confused as to why she's hiding her face. Her eyes are a bit expressionless so it's difficult to find the mood for the scene. :)

This is pretty cool. The leaf on the right side is annoying but the pose and look was captured wonderfully.

Nice composition, and somehow that leaf just adds to the texture nicely...
