Interesting take on the subject. I really like the thought you put into this as well as the execution. If I was going to pop this should I would have not done the train tracks as well as it would help the ballet shoe stand out more. Also there are some minor clean up things like the crop on the left hand side, the twigs on the tracks and the hair (?) ties on her wrist.

This is good! She is beautiful and has an easy natural smile. And would could make her even more glowing than your autumn setting. Very awesome!

It looks like you opened up Photomatix and moved all the sliders to the far right. Sadly, you ruined a photo that actually had potential.

The overuse of Topaz has led to some noticeable noise issues in the sky. In the future, to avoid this, selectively apply your filter by masking off the sky. Alternately, you can apply noise reduction to the sky prior to applying Topaz and that should help things out as well.

Cute dog but I think there are a few technical changes needed for this one to be top drawer.

Interesting interpretation of 'portrait' I'm a fan of selective desaturation but the closeness of the tones to skin colour make the monochrome skin seem a little pallid.
