A nice relaxed portrait. You're eyes hint at a mischevious side! Here it is with a solid background...

Manuel,
Nice concept. That light in the corner kind of distracts from the "pain" message...cropping?

This is very striking...
I disagree with Arthur, this angle diminishes her nose and focuses attention on her eyes, mouth, and bone structure...superb work!

Great self-portrait Samantha... I'm perplexed as to how you can have a shadow on the right side of your nose...

Neat pic Nathan...Are we looking at the top of a shoulder, down the arm with a slight bulge of bicep?

Another brilliant and disturbing piece Andrew. I think the theme of decay is fascinating with the fruit and the flower. Where people now associate a certain tone with Sepia, in the future the tone represented by your work should simply be referred to as "Polushkin"...

For such a complex scene, I would have preferred seeing the top left corner fully. But it has lots of possibilities and the exposure and tone are great. Nice work!

Nathan,
This is very elegant. In the attachment, I've softened it and pushed the contrast even further. You have a good eye...

Amie,
You are off to a good start. One of the first things you'll have to practice is increasing your awareness of the background and if it compliments (or detracts from) the subject. In this case, your rather pretty subject has some distracting stuff emerging from her ear. Backgrounds can have detail, but it should support the subject. Exposure-wise, a little more light from a fill-flash or a reflector would make the subject pop off the background more. Keep shooting!

If you hadn't sliced off the shoulders and her head, this would have been a beauty... That's why I don't do weddings...no second chances... ;(

This is a great portrait Autumn. I think the blurred necklage balances the bottom half of the image; avoiding too much whitespace. In the attachment, I rotated 1 degree CCW and cropped the image. Nice work!

A pleasant portrait. Head tilt is probably 1 degree harder than I would like (subtending her right eye a little). Nice exposure. She must be an angel to tolerate tattoo'd chicks like LibertyBell...did you crop her halo out?
p.s. Yes we read your "About" comments...

Rachel,
I like the composition and the exposure. Suzanne is indeed very beautiful...the only thing I would do to improve this shot is have Suzanne apply a liberal coat of powder to give her skin an even tone. Keep shooting (her)!

Hi Rachel,
This is a nice portrait. I like the reflections on her arm that are more subtle on her face. Her shirt blends with the ground, but it looks like this was shot at twilight or nighttime, so you did very well with the exposure anyway.
Please ask Suzanne to refer to picture 13651 because I would like to buy a print. Thanks!

Dimitris, I never "got" your scanner art, but I think this is great. I like the high-key of her skin contrasting with the shadows on the rose petals. The earring almost looks like a Photoshop graphic. Very nice!

Arthur,
Exposure is great, but that index finger over the nose kills it. The crease in the background (coming out of her forehead) isn't helping either...

Anna, I like the composition. I would have liked the image more if the model (or the light) was rotated just a little so that the shadow of her shoulder wasn't falling across her chest. In fact, if the light on the right was actually 45 degrees behind her, if would have added definition to the top of her shoulder which is blending with background. Let's see more of this series!
