Ok then:
Composition is nice, but I would not have cropped off part of her hand.
Lighting is pretty good, but the lower face is a bit over-exposed.
I think your toning is fairly subtle and well done.

I like the pose, BW mode, composition, and framework.
I think it is a little bit overexposed.

Lighting is a little harsh on the lower girl, but that doesn't bother me as much as cutting off the hand of the upper girl the way you've done it. Also right side might be just a tad tight

Hi Ananda! The lighting I used was 2 Softboxes, One high to the right , and one over and behind my left shoulder. Perhaps I metered it wrong as well, but the girl on the bottom has a much lighter complexion than her sister above. Thank you so much for the critique!! -Darren-

Wonderful framing. I think the light on the face of the girl sitting down is a little harsh. I would guess the light source will be light from the window. Other than that very good composition.

I totally agree Paul! Back when I started with models, I had no clue what to do with lighting. As you can see with my "Viv" picture that you also commented on, I'm starting to get the hang of it. Thanks for the critiques, and keep em coming bud!!! -Darren-

This is crisp and vivid, and the telephoto's depth of field did a splendid job of blurring out the water below.
This is primarily a rare perspective, looking DOWN on an eagle in flight, and the soft, out-of-focus water provides such a rich texture for this shot.

I would reduce the vignette effect here, Darren. Nice head shot, just open that bright creamy center to include more than just her eye.

Oh Darren, this is just...magical. What a fantastic shot that is perfectly exposed (and waterfalls are a difficult beast to expose properly).

Fantastic fall scene! Perfect shutter speed to soften the water amongst the stronger rock elements of your capture.
Thanks for your comments on my portfolio! It is always appreciated!

Dear Darren!
I need to start critiquing your shots with Olivia. Her name is so beautiful. And I wish you her a beautiful destiny.
Great Lighting. And very well taken without disturbing her pose. And you very well select the POV.
Thanks for your share. And say hello to Olivia
Warm Regards.
Ali

I really like this photo Darren. She has such an interesting expression. My thoughts change as I look at here. Maybe Contemplation, I then thought more reflections and then I thought sadness. Excellent photo Bruce

Hi Darren, your BW images have a very unique style, the beautiful greys tonal range, the exquisite light and the very well contolled contrast make your pictures (the series on the beach among others) very appealing;
an excellent work all around
