 I shot this photo right after her graduation and... Well to tell the truth I didn't even know about this challenge at that time. But... her face is lit with a Bowens 500 flash and the whole scene is backlit by the sun so it should fit the challenge, right? =)

The model is Fjóla Ósk, a friend of mine.

A good portrait - very nice lighting on the face. Perfect exposure and focus on the face as well. The major trouble I have is that rotten bright sky, it needs to go.

The blurred background draws attention from the subject.

Very nice focus. I still think there's a bit too much glare on the face, but it is really nice. The crop is good too.

This pretty lady makes a very nice photo, but I can't see the connection to the challenge and contrast could be improved. Score 3.5 rounded to 3.

Excellent photo! Love the depth of field, focus, colour.
BUT...I'm missing the "obvious use of multiple sources of light" that are an integral part of the photo.

Great portrait. For me, I'm interesed in the background as well - might be nice to have a bit more loose cropping as it seems scenic.

Lighting is perfect, and the focus is spot on. A very nice photo that belongs on your wall.
