Absolutely love the mood in the shot. An excellent close up portait.

This was really good - it should have placed higher in my book... :)

Judy - This was one of my favorites in the challenge. I love the low key look (no surprise from the Queen of low key), and the softness of the lighting and shallow focus. A wonderful and personal portrait.

I like it because of the left lens distortion of the background.

I like this one a lot. Especially the border. It is something like letterbox.

Pretty decent, just it just doesn't wow me. On this one I think it's just a personal preference thing, though. I don't care for the square crop, but that's just a personal thing again, nothing really wrong with it.

Dark and moody, think I would like to see a tad more light on the other side of his face.

The sharpest point in this picture is the nose - it should be the eyes.

Nice focus. I love the clarity. Good choice of black and white.
