I'm not much for receiving or giving comments, but since Candids are near and dear to my heart, I have decided to give comment on every entry in this challenge.

This is ok. Lots of this kind of shot can be taken though, so it isn't all that interesting to me or has any wow factors I like to look for in a candid. The tones are nice, and the intensity of her face. I give it a 5.

The border does not add to the picture. Maybe in another color.

The thumbnail caused me to have a closer look but unfortunately the larger image appeared a bit soft. Nice composition and tonal range. You held detail in the whites particularly well. Too bad it wasn't a bit sharper.

Not very abstract. Nice shot nonetheless, though.

It's a macro but it isn't abstract. Photo is grainy and doesn't seem to be in focus.

Good composition, but focus seems a little soft. Lighting look sgood to me.

Is it fear, or is the model in pain?

I think the background lets this shot down a bit. I cant tell but it looks like a door behind the person, I dont feel this adds anything to the shot. A closer crop on the person's face would also have shown more emotion.
