Last month I began to delve in portraiture, here is my progress thus far. Any constructive criticism is much appreciated, I don't learn from comments like "nice pic". The last set was the hardest because it was an unfamiliar theme (steampunk) at an open shoot at an unfamiliar location. I also already realized that the DOF on the last photo makes the googles on his hat look strange...

3,4 and 8 seem to really well framed.
8 is my favorite. #7 is too busy
The clarity and focus is great
What I like most is the use of light to make the shots more interesting. #3 is a classic
Shows personality, and pops nicely.
I think you have already developed your style. Not too busy but not too plain
Hope to see more of your potraits.

I love these. My only quips are the two prominent twigs in #1 , the direction of light in #2 and the hot spots in #3.

Very good start. My only comment would be too much negative space above the subjects a result of centering them. The second to last is okay because it helps define the situation, but the rest could be cropped more into the subjects. Keep practicing. I'd like to see more of your work. ;-)

I like the images. But I agree that most would benefit from closer cropping at the top. Number 3 image looks like the model is pulling her hair out rather than just resting her hand on her head- awkward positioning. The lighting and exposure is well done. 1, 2, 7 are my favorite because the models are looking directly at the viewer which forms a connection.

I didn't notice this at all until you mentioned it, everyone's eyes are in the middle of the frame. I'll keep this in mind as I'm shooting tomorrow, I think it's from me using the centerpoint focus confirmation on manual lenses and not reframing
