Great post-production. But the initial lighting is what is outstanding to me. The eyes really come out here versus your other B&W portraits. Like the color portrait previously commented, the eyes have such good contact, it draws the viewer to the face, reinforced by that excellent lighting. The hair has excellent detail. This portrait really pulls the viewer in. You just cannot help yourself but it pulls you to look, and look intently.

The traditional wear adds the authenticity to this portrait, and the steam is such a great touch. It actually feels hot just looking at the picture. The water-bottle puts the photo in the right time frame. This is a great travel/photojournalism shot.

I don't know if you intended to keep the low horizontal bar for aesthetics, but curved shapes of the two structures in the mid-ground help each other very well. The lines, like your other travel shot, are well chosen, and the colors, too compliment well, giving a mood that peaceful, with the moon making the final addition. Another great architecture shot.

The eyes in this shot really helped me appreciate the beauty of your model's face. The lighting/exposure is perfect to me, making it warm and inviting. It's a portrait you just want to keep looking at.

Another great shot with pattern. The texture here adds alot as well. The isolated color of the dome is perfectly juxtaposed with the uniform stone in the foreground. Beautiful.

The color is a good combination. Maybe it's just my eye, or intentional. I feel like the building itself is falling away (slightly right- ?). Other than that, the lines are beautiful, which is a good indication of your eye for design, just like your other architecture (travel) shots.
