Man, those environments are improving leaps and bounds. Those last two are reaaaally nice. Love all the little lights!
Regarding the portrait, maybe try to be a bit more careful with your use of blacks - black means there's no light at all reaching some point, which is almost never the case. Also, always think of planes before starting to render - breaking down the face in simple shapes, and think about your light source. Right now, you have some light coming from the front/top on the face, but the shouldders look like they are lit from behind.
Really good to see you put out work on such a consistent basis though. That's the key to success. So keep it up! :)
