I like the simplicity of natural light, sometimes I get so lost in this strobist thing. Love the matching eyes and the background.

Great model and expression. Lovely blues and composition. My eyes would prefer a little sharper focus on her eyes.

Very nice portrait. Great background bokeh. A tad more sharpness on eyes would have had more impact.

I am color blind, so you may need to ignore this, but the background looks blue to my eye.

Stunning portrait, I'm not sure if the focus and sharpness are perfect but it doesn't matter too much as it's such a great expression, crop, composition, DOF that it makes for a wonderful image. My favourite part is the colours though with the eyes and the background matching and drawing you into the shot. One of my top 5

Great portrait. The background blue compliments the eyes really well. Great expresion and the wisp of hair on the face adds to the shot. Not keen on the eye liner, not sure it's needed.
