I loved the one you entered.. the post processing really worked in my opinion it conveyed such a melancholy mood.. the tones were great and your expression ~ Perfect.. I think you are beautiful as well. Nice work

This is really great. Terrific job establishing a mood and supporting it throughout the composition of your image. (I like this better than your outtake - although it's good too). :-)

This is wonderful. Creative use of a mirror (?). Interesting color choice. The separations with the background are a bit distracting, but overall this is great.

Yet another shot that would be beautiful if it were in focus.

I like the composition of this shot a lot. I like the facial expression and catchlights in both eyes. Good soft lighting. One thing that I'm not enthusiastic about is the yellowish tint to your skin and the background almost give a sickly feel to the shot. I think that going black and white would look great. There also appears to be some significant noise in specific parts of the shot. I think this is ok, though it almost makes it look like it was taken with a low resolution camera since it lacks a sharp focus.

This has a neat 1970s tv look to it.

Moody and dark I think... great portrait, post dodge/burn or similar is perfect, great catchlight. Awesome photograph.

Terrific! It demands the attention of the viewer, not just because it is visually startling, but also because it clearly has something more to say than "just 'nother pretty girl here". It's two distinct pictures; (a) the subject on the right, and (b) the "other" person on the left looking at the subject. It creates the strong impression for me that I am standing beside the person on the left and we are both looking at the subject on the right, as if she were a painting. It's a strange but pleasant illusion. I have no clue if that's what you intended, but I sure hope so. 10.

Nice simple colours & the reflection works really well, like this.
It reminds me of a painting.

Natural expression, kind of pensive in a way. Cute :)

I love your choice of color - you're also very attractive and the slightly messy hair adds to it. 8 from me

Really impressed by this. Not for everyone's taste with the processing but I think it creates a great effect. Nice expression. Love it.
