A twist on a fantastic original. Taken with natural light in a furniture store (of all places) because they had large windows and proper face to sunlight for evening.

From original photo, I cropped to size, cleaned a dust spot and + saturation (looked like it lost some color after conversion from RAW to jpg for web).

very nice. IMO a little more shadow on her LH side(viewers rh) would be good.

Edit: Again, very nice portrait. I think the light just needs softened just a touch. 8

I think a little Neat Image would've got you the skin tone he achieves.
Great photo!

Not very much like the original but certainly strong enough to stand on its own as a great portrait. -8-

The eyes do not stand out - the left one is in the (rather harsh) shade and he whites could have been dodged a bit to increase the effect. Otherwise nice expression on the model.

A little closer view of the eyes would have been perfect! Good photo.

stunning. Love the colors. She looks very worried.

Sorry, not trying to offend you but this doesn´t even come close to the original, the only thing I see similar is a girl and a cloth around her head. The composition, post processing, expression on the girl and especially the lighting are MUCH better in his shot. This is hardly bad though, you just picked a really hard shot to imitate and I think I am being overly hard on you for that reason. I ended up giving this a 5.

that's a nice shot...i might have cropped a bit off the top to draw more attention to the eyes, also the shadow on the right eye covers it up a bit..good attempt 7

I commented on this in the regular entries. Did you upload it to your portfolio too. YIKES - not supposed to do that.
