Spent most of my entire life in B&W. To me, more challenging than color.

This is a gem! The composition is the whole story. I would never have attempted it. Marvelous presentation

Thank-you for taking to time to appraise.

A powerful image.

 

I have only one suggestion. It is a cropping issue. The area in the upper right handcorner seems to drag my attention away from the powerful lines and colors that dominate 90 percent of the image.

 

I really do not know whether the observation has any merit.

 

No Matter, it is a fine image.

Image was dodged and burned. The distracting background was eliminated.

A lovely image. I have to agree with some comments concerning the top of the head being cut off. If the head is cropped simply because that was the way the image was made, then crop a bit of the hair at the bottom to balance.

The tonal qualities of the skin tones are excellent. An achievement always a difficult demand in B&W photography.

A commendable image.

Very nice composition on a very complicated subject. Color tones very nice. Nice job

You certailnly captured a powerful image.

 

I can't find any real flaws other than, maybe soften or eliminate, or crop out the faint detail just above the model's head. My eye seems to go there and for no purpose.

 

An excellent job. Accept my accolades.

Image has been dodged and burned. Areas of distracting backgound has been eliminated.

A very interesting image. The lines of the background and the letters are what captures my attention. Keep looking.

An image that I kept looking at again and again. A good usage of areas in focus and areas out of focus. A case of where depth of field limitations, worked.

 

A commendable image.

 

My only problem is the lighter area on the left side in the background. My eye kept going to it. Burn it down and the image is made much better.

A very lovely image. The composition, the colors, the neutral background, all make for a fine image. Good job.

An excellent image but there is a cropping problem. The object on the right hand side of the image diverts attention from the prime subject, the face. The object servers no purpose. Remove the object and you have a powerful image.

I thank-you for your time

A truly commendable image.

 

I suggest a revision utalizing a bit of cropping. The red at the bottom of the image detracts from the delicate subject, the Butterfly. Crop the bottom area out and all attention sit then on the subject.

Lovely image.

A technical problem. The image needs cropping. The top of the subjects dress needs to be eliminated. The eye goes to it and for no reason. If the bottom edge was just above the top of the dress it would be a very pleasant and enjoyable image.

Clean, simple and elegant.

Thank-you for your time
