Goin through a few pics and was curious as to what you might think of this. I used to shoot all kinds of photos in this genre. This was for a make-up artists portfolio. Would love a little feedback if you have the time. Thanks

    This could be great, it should be a bit of a confusing shot that causes the viewer to really look for everything - but I think it's a bit too close in, and I want more of the left-hand girl's eyes somehow. Bet you have others that are better!

    it's an interesting photo, for sure. Color/exposure wise, it's done well. one thing I'm struggling with is a real focus point. is it the nose of the subject on the right? the hair on the left? I guess I just wish something was stronger, maybe one open eye to catch the attention.

    Ahhhhh ... composition much nicer than the first. Strong focal point ... her expression is such that one feels a bit of a voyeur ... an intruder ... interloping on a private relationship from a hidden vantage point ... and now suddenly you've been caught.

    I'd crop a bit from the right ... up to the ear as all that white shoulder is a bit distracting and doesn't add to the shot .... a maybe a touch off the hair on the left.

    Striking capture ... great expression evoking emotion.
