For the first image, my self portrait, I re-cropped it differently, which improved the balance of the photo. I'm quite pleased with the amount of detail in my eyes and the amount of light and the reflection of the window. I like my inquisitive-happy expression. I feel like the diffused lighting from the window of my dorm worked really well, and provided good values.
For the first portrait of my friend Allegra, I am happy with the range of values. I feel that the composition of her is interesting, and is not your traditional portrait. I like the little highlight of her necklace and the subtle value changes.
The second portrait of Allegra is one that I feel has an excellent show of contrast. I am pleased with how the morning light from the window is reacting to her form. Everyone has commented or noted her expression to the viewer, who is looking down at her, but she is giving a look as if though she were the one looking down on you.
The final image (again of Allegra) is my favorite of the three portraits of her - I like the almost blown-out background, and I like the blurred out trees to give the photo some depth. I feel that the values are good, and I like her somewhat-blank expression. I like the asymmetrical balance of the photo, and I also like that the darkest darks are on her so that it creates a focus of emphasis.
