keeping up with le plateau

Excellent composition and very good b/w tones.  I like it. 

Nice one!

It seems to be so she is reading loud .. great shot 

Excellent. Powerful and dramatic.

The close crop works very fine here; it enforces a very immediate "in-the-middle-of-the-scene" feel to it, connecting directly. The one minor criticism I've got is that contrast is a bit higher than I'd like, though I can understand the choice for it for a photo as this one.

Bold and beautiful Stephanie.

An inspired one Stephanie. Great cropping, adressing a creative touch to what by itself would already be a compelling subject and composition. The intense dark provides the adequate depth.

Excellent processing, composure and scene, well captured.
