Mary, thank you for the critique, which means a lot to me as you are familiar with this area. :)

Thank-you for your recent comments - it reminded me to pass some more time in your portfolio! I love the weight your architectural shots have. The buildings in your black and white work have a solidness to them with your renderings in the grey scale that they wouldn't have in color. There is a real permanence to them - we know they will be there for hundreds of years more. I especially love the reflection of the tree in the round window above the doorway, as it heightens the contrast between the man-made and the natural world. Your choice of angles to photograph these structures also makes the most of their solidness. First rate renderings!

Thank you truly for your your well-defined critique. This does inspire me to do more architectural work, so I want you to know that I appreciate what you have said, especially coming from you, who has a portfolio I admire so much. - Maria
