8 - Very nice. Toning/b&w works very well. Really liked the braids, but especially the expression captured, which seems purely candid. Lovely face. Composition very good. Only few things were the nose 'hot spot' and the minor grain/'gamma'/contrast/something issues in the darker areas. Also in the upper right, but I think the shading/gradient there does add to the depth of this. edit:to add comments

That's one serious look she's got. Wonderful capture. 'Cept for the hot spot on the nose and the soft focus on the face (bit sharper on the braids) this is an outstanding shot!

A very captivating portrait. Beautiful except for that overblown spot on her nose.

Great expression, great capture. Like how you cropped it. 10

This is lovely. Beautiful facial expression - emotive. It looks like you possibly added a grain (??) - whatever it is, the texture works well. Love the crop and the B&W. The spot on the nose is a bit hot & distracting but the shot strong enough to compensate IMO...8.

A wonderful shot. The expression on her face, the black & white, almost perfect.

Good moody portrait. Not quite sure of the nose, looks overexposed or similar.

Deep in thoughts adults might not understand. Nice composition. A durable photo. 8.

This is exceptional, shame about the white spot on the nose. I think you could have cloned in some skin. I think that is legal in advanced editing. The expression is wonderful and opens up many interpretations.
