Very clear, sharp photo, zero eyeglass reflection :)

This such a wonderfully done portrait! The presence is emphatic, the expression pleasing, the composition perfect, DOF just appropriate, color works so well.

And so intimately taken, that it gives a warmth and one feels like hugging the model.

A perfect 10 from me.

Not too keen on the yellow border, but a nice picture.

Very "Grandmotherly." I think you could reduce the negative space and this would have the effect of more emphasis on the subject. Perfect focus and DOF for this shot.

Love the composition, the expression of the model, the catchlight on the teeth, the DOF with CHRISTmas lights really works for me.

Great expression, bokeh, warm light and composition. I love the tight framing on her face. You also did a very nice job avoiding reflections in the glasses. Well done!
