Excellent portrait in every way. And a strong portfolio. Good work.

rugged, eerie, powerful.

Good capture. I like the way the composition emphasizes the tininess of the child. It's a very complex scene anyway, and I think any more depth of field would make it too complicated. I think you've handled all the elements well.

A fine portrait. I like the palette, the textures, and the sense of motion. Strong work.

rich textures. Fine b&w work.

You've captured a perfect moment. A gesture, a glance, and so a world is revealed in your portrait. Good work.

It's hard to imagine a more revealing portrait than this one. Wonderful work.

Very effective, with good tones and textures. I like the less-than-perfectly-groomed hair. Everything works together to illuminate her personality, just as a fine portrait should.

Just enough; just right. An excellent portrait.

This is an outstanding portrait. Everything seems so organic, so natural. It's as though you've photographed a flower at that moment of supreme beauty.

So many elements come together in this superb portrait. And yes: those eyes!

The light, the moment, the people, all captured beautifully. This is as good as photography gets.

a classic moment, well captured. I think the sepia toning contributes to the nostalgia without over-doing things, and the darkness of the print suggests the past. Fine portrait.

beautiful portrait, fine tones. Only quibble: the fishnet is distracting, even a little confusing.

a fine portrait, and beautiful black&white textures.
