I'm bored, and looking to give and get some critiques.
So this is how it goes.

I'll choose my favorite and Least favorite image of yours. Tell you why i like it/why i don't.
You do the same for me.

Let's go smile

Alrighty then.

My favorite shot on your gallery is Katrina 2009.

The colors are highly saturated and vibrant mixing yellow and green to give an overall impression of youth, growth, warmth, and being totally ok with tripping and falling in to a field of tall grass. The expression on the model is somewhere between amused and dreamy, as if she were wrapped up in some thought or the other and you captured that exact moment before she realized anyone was watching.

Technically, I think the photo suffers just a bit from the soft focus on the face and sharpness on the plant leaves. This, to me, draws the eye a bit away from the best part of the image and pushes that poor plant in to a role it wasn't prepared to play. Otherwise, thumbs up.



My least favorite photo is lemon bath. Normally I'm all about lemons, and bathing, and bathing with lemons, but the cross processing.. ugh, cross processing. I wish I had more to say about it, but the colors make me queasy and punch my optic nerve like a fist made of up yours.

The angle is awesome in this shot, and her outfit is pretty cool.

Ask yourself, "what does this image for me as a photographer?"
In my opionion, nothing. It shows a girl smoking, and smoking shots never really do anything for both model/photographers because smoking isn't always attractive in photos. Very few shots can do something for you. However this is just a not so good angle and the smoke is all over her face.

You can definitely kick that photo if your looking to delete stuff.

Anyways good start. You have some cool photos and themes.
Keep it up. smile

I'm not to fond of the editing and her blown out skin.
and it's just pretty boring.

I just find this one boring. Nothing really draws me in. Although I must add it was hard for me to decide which one was my least favorite considering I loved most of them.

Least favorite. I'm not fond of the blur on the bubbles.

Brilliant.  I LOVE the composition, tone, setting, and mood evoked by this.

Maybe it's just me, but her expression seems a tad awkward or strained.  I look at the image as a whole and want to love it, but that one thing brings it down for me.
