I like the idea, and the model's pose is pretty good. I am less certain about the purple tint but I do like that you explained how you got it. I am definitely not liking the orange thing on the right, which totally detracts from the rest of the image.

I think the frame is a bit overdone, and I wish the sailboat wasn't darker on the left side. Otherwise, nicely composed and the golden light is wonderful.

I like the way her reflection just shows up in the black background, so it doesn't look like she is floating in space. I like the pose, however I think her extended finger on the right hand looks too stiff and awkward.

This is a nice portrait, well-lit, well-posed, maybe a bit too centered. I am a little uncertain about this kind of picture being taken in a military cemetery, however. It just seems out of place for such a solemn location.

You did a good job hand-holding. I'm thinking you could crop some off of each side and have the main peak stand out more. Also, you might try finding some photoshop filters that emulate using a deep red filter to make the sky a bit blacker, which will really make the mountains pop out. I have had good success with red filters (real ones, on the lens) shooting Mt. Rainier against a clear blue sky, using black and white film. You can get some really good contrast that...

Short of a nude portrait, I'm not really sure how you could show the rose tattoo. This pose doesn't quite work--it's like she's posing for a demure portrait but the way her blouse is unbuttoned to show the rose just looks like she's pulling it over her shoulder to show it to you. It just doesn't seem to fit with the way she's looking away from the camera. I do like the lighting on her face.

This one is less successful than your reflections picture. The fireworks burst, probably because it's not sharp, looks out of place. Just the fountain and the Eiffel Tower replica would be a better composition. I would say to crop off the building to the left but that would cut part of the fireworks burst, so that might not work out too well. This would be worth a re-shoot without the fireworks. Maybe I'll try it myself, I am going to be in Vegas in about two weeks.

Nice composition and pose. I like the model's smile and her eye connection with the viewer. I think the jewelry is maybe a bit too much given the simplicity of her clothing.

I like the composition of showing the two dancers with the piano player in the background. For the most part, the mostly-hidden elements of the orchestra to the right are good too, however I find the red light distracting. I might have cloned that out, along with the white spot of something or other that shows up to the right.

Nice shot of the old Lady, although I think it's a bit soft. Maybe that's a result of re-sizing. It's a pity the top sail on the fore mast isn't full of air like the others; of course there is nothing you can do about that.

I like the grain (is this film? Shot with a Yashicamat by chance?) and the motion blur is well-done. The composition is pretty good but the gap between the newspapers splits his head and that is kind of distracting. I think the harsh shadows work pretty well here.

This is certainly different. I like the overall idea. The makeup goes well with the leaves. There are a couple of minor distractions. The lighting on her face is a bit harsh, and her hand looks awkward. I'm sure it's just because of the shadows (again, maybe the harsh light) but the fingernail on her middle finger looks like it's peeling off which would be quite painful.

Very dramatic shot. I like the dark sky and the way the trees frame the tower. I would crop some off the bottom.

There's a lot of potential in this--you have the makings of a good photograph of a model in a classic pose, but it's not quite there. Her hands look kind of contrived to me, as if she's trying to do something interesting with them. Unfortunately it just doesn't come off. Maybe if she had her hands in her hair, as if she were making an adjustment. The biggest flaw in the picture is the large white spot on the back of her head. I don't know what it is, but it is quite...

This is pretty close to being right on. The main issue, unfortunately, you had no control over. Although the runner is clearly out, you can't really see the tag being applied. Too bad you couldn't have gotten a shot with the shortstop on the other side of the bag, so we could clearly see the tag being applied.I'm not sure the black and white conversion worked out to the best advantage--overall it's a bit too gray.
