Focus, lighting and composition are all fantastic.  I hope this is your next Christmas card ð

the angle is good, the repetition of form is quite nice.  If I were to ask for something more, it would be more detail in the shadows.  Overall, I'm guessing you could bring the exposure up a notch, and still keep the wonderful night feel.

Infrared pinhole.

A wickedly foggy January 1st. Who doesn't love fog?

What happens to architecture when it's no longer needed

Overall, I like this image.  Color and mood is dead on, and seems to fit the "old world" scene.  I wonder however, if cropping this to vertical by cropping just to the left of the door on the right of the flowers wouldn't make for an even stronger image.  The bench pulls my eye away from the obvious subject, and not really in a good way.  Otherwise I love places such as this, and hope you have much more of it.

Much cleaner :)  Now there's nothing to say

so many things are so right about this pic, there's really nothing to say.  Just one thing bothers me a bit, and that's what I assume is her right hand just making an appearance in front of her.  To me, it spoils the body line and shape.

her shirt says it all :)

Simply beautiful. Great composition, lighting pose. Well done.

Agreed. A truly captivating portrait, lessened a bit by the overdone smoothing. She looks like shes made out of plastic. A bit more of a natural look and this one would really work.

Wonderful use of light and shadow. Might almost be too sharp, but well done.

I agree that I would like to see more of the lips here... But a beautiful portrait as it is. Well done.

Good compostition, great model, original exposure could have been better... I makes for a very distracting highlight in the corner, but otherwise well done.

Nice portrait. Seems a bit soft and flat however. A touch more contrast maybe?

Beautiful model and composition... Lighting is good, but it seems a bit too flat overall. But well done. Some of the others in the portfolio are even better!

Beautiful. Well lit and composed.

What a concept! Great... Uuhhh... execution as well.

A very nice portrait. Makes me think of the old hollywood portraits. Very well done.

Beautiful and peaceful. Well done.

Wonderful! Good compostition and a great exposure.

Well Tim, you've managed to go past the standard here, and found a new way to look at this particular subject. Very well done. Good composition and tone, some hints of color which are hard to find on a day like this. Good, good, good!

I like the simplicity here. Well done. Maybe a little less exposure on the highlights on the face though.
