Silent Contemplation

I think I would have liked to have seen this with a little less contrasting and a few more gray hues thrown in there. It seems like an interesting picture, but because its so dark, its hard to figure it out.

I'm sure you're getting lots of comments saying that your portrait is blurry and out of focus, but I would just like to say that I really like this photo. I like the slight shadow on the wall, the simple colors, and i like the soft focus. Good luck.

I almost think you could do without the border since the picture seems to frame itself. Well done though. You have a photo that has taken a more creative approach to the "I am a photographer" portrait. I also like the choice of sepia tones for this image.

Its a wonderful portrait - very intense. The only things that kind of bother me are the DOF - i would like to see your eye in sharper focus, and the crop - I think maybe less of the nose should be included so that it is exactly half of your face. 8.

At first I wasn't sure if I liked the large ammount of pure white background, but after coming back to your portrait I have decided that it is indeed a nice use of negative space. I also like the blue in your eyes because it is subtle and not so bright that it looks bad in contrast with the sepia (i think?) tones of the rest. 9

Although I think you are very beautiful, I'm trying to be objective so that had no effect on the high score I gave you. I love the shadows, tones, and textures in your portrait. Good work.

Although I think the contrast in the photo is a little too high, I can't help giving it a 10. I love it. You used the mirror/reflection method well, and conveyed so much more emotion than a lot of the entries in this challenge.

I keep going back and forth between 8 and 9 on this photo. I like it a lot. Its the eyes that really do it for me though - so determined. Nice work.

I went back to this one a few times before really deciding how to rate it. I've finally decided that this deserves a 10. I love the colors, the mood, and the way the red fills the negative space. Great job.

Portrait by Me

This seems a little too harshly contrasted. A few more grays slipped in there as opposed very light lights and very dark darks would probably make this portrait feel warmer.
