Lighting: well balanced, but perhaps just a tad harsh.
Pose: conveys the message well.
Background: wonderful. |

This takes me back to the late 80's. I never could do this haircut, my hair is too waivy. Very Thompson Twins though. Great lighting. Love the catch light in the visible eye!

| I like the concept you were going for here; however the lighting is a little hard and something just does not look right about the eyes. |

| Interesting idea; it's so close now I think I'd crop it square -- unless you deliberately want to introduce that additional element of oddness. |

| Effective lighting and focus is very sharp. I also like the off-center composition. Well done. :o) |

| The choice of dark blue hood against the pure black background provides a very subtle but nice frame. I like it. |

| Though a little strong on the flash, I like the way you've isolated the head of your subject with dark clothing and background. |

| the background and sweatshirt / clothing is all too black - makes the head seem a bit disembodied. there doesn't also appear to be any reason for the off-centre compositon - kids appearance is largely spherical, and a centred composition might work better. picture overall appears a bit weird, and the fringe is not particular portrait-friendly. |

| So much hair in front of her face is distracting to me. Awesome color eye ... kinda wish she was smiling. |

| Wow! Your model's face is stunning! The background works very well but I am not happy with the blue boder that surrounds her head. Lighting = well done. Border = not needed. |

| I think this is a nice portrait, however the lighting seems a blit too dark. The hat fades into the background. |

| Nice pose, interesting idea, good non-distracting background...But the lighting is too harsh, lots of distracting reflections on the hair. |

| It's not a "traditional studio portrait". I think that will draw down your score.... your subject is pretty... hair is interesting... just not "traditional". |

| I like the premise of this. The hair covering the other eye is a tad distracting, especially with the light reflecting off of it |

| she seems to have a floating head, and the skin tones don't seem natural, don't really care for her hair to be covering this much of her face |

Youth would see better with both eyes open.
If negative space was on the left, image would have more balance. I think Rule of Thirds doesn't work in most studio portraits.
Good exposure. |

| Interesting. I can't tell if this is an adolescent girl or boy. What I dislike is the rather disembodied appearance of the head and the crescent of blue-ish light just over the subject's head. It might be a hat--it's really hard to make out what it is---but it has the effect of flattening the top of the subject's head. |

| i don't know why, but this picture gives me an uneasy feeling. It's very dark and surreal. |

| Unique and I like it. The light could of been toned down a little but this works for me. Good entry. |
