Nice portrait with a interesting half reflection. I don't think the green and red spots add to the photo, I would have cloned them out.

Beautiful model, pretty expressive. I would move the camera more to the right, making sure what looks like a street light is not there. It's a nice reflection, but i think more of the frame space should be given to the lady herself, rather than to her reflection. Perhaps using a shallower dof would make the portrait a little softer and more appealing too, but it would help blur the too-distinct buildings on the background... To sum it up, i like the picture, but purely technical shortcomings undermine its appeal. 7.

Like the pose, like the composition. The reflection in the window is a bit distracting.

The window lighting is really good...... neat soft skin. Superior composition - angle of the arm and angle of the window sill together draw the eye toward the face and reflection . I would have considered cropping tighter and minimized exposure under the arm.

This photo suffers from the same 'white sky' as many of my October photos which is a bit distracting but in some wise provides some contrast to the nice, warm impression of the blurred leaves. Great addition to the autumn collection!

I was going to try to burn the sky a bit or blend the blue sky up to the top of the frame, but there was a natural gradient created by the clouds that I just couldn't bring myself to alter. I may come back to it later when the experience of taking the photo isn't so fresh in my head.
