This is one of about a million shots I took in a day of this beautiful model, my niece. I post-processed them all at once and they've blurred together so I don't remember the exact details, but I think there was selective levels adjustment and it was sharpened after being resized for DPC.

Beautiful portrait, Jodie. I really like it, in particular the diagonal composition. The colours of the shirt/hair/lips go so well together, and the blue eyes add just a touch of "coolness". Nice.
I really love this shot. It seems just a bit oversharpened around the eyes and mouth, so it might have looked better in softer focus, but it's absolutely stunning as it is. Great job!
Lighting: The lighting is wonderful, but I would have liked to see more life in her eyes, that can be provided by a catchlight.
Pose: Sorry, with the pupils of her eyes covered by her eyelids she looks more asleep than posed. A beautiful model in a good composition, but the eyes are killing it for me.
Background: Using her hair as a background to frame her face is fabulous.
My favorite composition of the challenge. Unfortunately, the light is a bit too flat for my taste, and it seems a little grainy. Maybe you had to crop too much? Still one of my top picks, but could've been a 10 with very little effort. Nice job!
very nice... very sexy... might be a tad bit oversharpened? I can't really tell... Some lipstick might have been nice to go with her eyes which are beautiful, and stand out... Nicely done though.
This unusual pose makes this photo stand out from all the more typical (right side up) portraits in the challenge, She almost seems to be floating, especially with all that soft hair. Those dreamy almost closed eyes give an etherial air to the photo as well.
A beautiful model and well lit. I'm uncomfortable with the angle of the shot and keep trying to tilt my head to view it. I expect you were going for a "look" but it seems just a little too upside down to me.
interesting composition/ pose - though her eyes could maybe be a bit more open ? The hair sweeping around her neck unfortunately looks like it might have been growing from there - something to pay a bit more attention to perhaps but a lot of potential
I like the pose and the expression. Her skin seems just a tad light, and I hesitate to suggest this for a teenager, but a touch more makeup might help bring in the skin tones. The hair is perfect.
Beautiful image and beautiful girl. I like the nice even lighting but, for some reason, I feel the mouth being open a little bit distracts a little. Just knit-picking.
Gorgeous model and photo. Your POV and her postion create a very candid and casual feel to the portrait. The soft focus and lighting really work well to establish mood. The composition and contrasts also draw attention to the face and eyes. ... Nice work, I give a 9
This has a lot of "wow" factor due to the unusual composition and superb exposure / colors. My biggest bug is the hair that looks like its growing from her neck. Overall = in the top group.
Simple, unusual composition and limited color pallette make this effective, almost an abstract. The eyes usually look odd shot this way -- I'd try to have them look down and not at the camera so they don't look dead/comatose. In this case, her eyes are partly-closed enough to mostly hide the effect.
This is one of my favorites. I could see this in a fashion magazine or cosmetic ad. Wonderful pose, great expression, lighting and all the technical aspects are well done and the composition is superb. She looks a bit like Liv Tyler. Beautiful! :o)
this is a nice picture, but the angle is a bit too interesting to fully appreciate, in that it hurts my neck to see the girls face. the eyes have reflected the light in a bit of disconcerting and strange way so that very little of the pupils and irisi are actually visible - this is something that might have been reduced with a bit of cloning in PS or similar. on the whle, i like it, the girls face is visually appealling and the technicial skill taking the shot is obviously very high. perhaps it would be easier to view if reflected along one axis or rotated 180°, so the top of her head is closer to one of the top corners... 7.
Realy beutifull model, nice soft skin, sharp eye's and eybrows (Photoshop?) the stray hairs in the neck distract a bit, and if you used PS for this then I would have made her teeth a bit wither, if not then I like your model even 25% more :)
Nice photo, with a good pose and composition. I think to really make it special you should have made the whites of the eys and the teeth brighter in post-processing. 7
Nice face! Strangely, because the face is upside down I think having her eyes open further would help the viewer see more personality and 'grasp' the image. The right way up she looks great but those eyes look just a little too closed for aesthetic perfection.
Beautiful model and great picture. However, there just seems to be something odd about her eyes. I'm sure it's just the color of the eyes blending in with her eyeliner and mascar, but it seems to distract from the picture a little... just a little.
