cool framing cool lighting cool shot. my only teeny nit pick is to maybe have pulled the frame a quarter of an inch down to get a little bit more of her bottom lip in the shot, otherwise it is great! nice job.

Cropped just slightly too tight for my taste. I'd like to see the bottom of her lower lip and the tops of her frames. Gamma needs a boost, too (my monitor calibrated to 2.2). I do like the focus on just her features, and the shades are a plus. A polarizer to cut the reflections there might be worth trying.

This photo creates a really interesting, mysterious mood. The reflections in the sunglasses are a nice element, making me try to work out what she's looking at.

I like the contrast here...I think I would have liked it more if there were something different reflected in the glasses though. Otherwise...good job.

I work in salon and I mean this in the nicest way...don't take close ups without a professional make up job. Lipstick is bleeding and either she is very freckly or she needs some cover up on her nose - close up of womens poors and wrinkles around eyes is not very flattering. (sorry)

I really like this photo :) The reflections in her sunglasses tell me that this was probably done while she was driving... This scores well with me this week! The only critique I have to offer is on the crop.. I believe that just a little more extra space above the glasses and below the lips would be very nice... great shot!
