8 - Very nice. Whilst no expert on 'highlight control' re the Challenge, seems to me you have done an excellent job to not 'blow' any surface. Criticism; not much at all, perhaps a different crop, to not cut off the top part of the flower, not sure, as I do like this angle, especially to show the detail in the petals/color for the Challenge. Maybe a little more space on the right, again not sure. edit:typo

Wow, what a great picture. Really love the softness about it and all the petals and lines are fantastic. Good Job!

Greetings from the Critique Club!!
I really do like this portrait. The Subject is nicely composed, the background is well suited, and the lighting on his face is very nice. The white shirt and hat really allow his face to be the primary focus. As the comments mentioned, there is a "hot spot" on his right shoulder. Sometimes this can be fixed using dodge and burn. One thing that might have made him stand out even more would be to sharpen him and make the background less sharp. Overall, a very nice portrait, extremely well done.

I like this a lot, good clean lines. Good masculine pose. It should do very well.

The background takes so much away from what is otherwise a really nice portrait. Too many distracting elements taking my eyes away from the model. Lighting and exposure are well done.

the cutout in the fence is very distracting. If the fence was all there it would make a world of a difference
