Wonderful use of light and a strong composition. Her half smile somehow creates a refreshing, impish, "I've got a secret" kind of mood, further enhanced by her looking out of the frame at something she finds amusing but which we can only guess at.

PostLuminous Award Nominee!
stark, dramatic, old-school-master style of contrast
composition--she is nearly out of frame, and looking out, but the sunlit wall pulls the image back into frame. superb.

This has an amazing b&w 'film-like' quality to it. Classic.

kind of felt the same thing.

i love that she is looking out of the frame. the play with light is really good.

She's got a Mona Lisa smile going on. I like the shadow play in the back. 7

Looks like a billboard to me with open space on the right for lettering. I like how the directional lighting crosses with the vertical lines on the wall. Unusual to see the subject looking out of the shot but I think it really works here.

I like the composition. The emptyness of the right portion brings some anxiety, I'm wondering what is she looking at, it's intriguing and interesting. Great approach.

There is just something about this one that I like. Great contrast and facial expression on the model. The composition is sort of odd and cool. Has a blend of "real" and "artistic". Very nice.

good light and interesting subject pose - leaves more questions than answers about what's out the window

Nice lighting and great in b&w, I understand the frame placement because of the shadow, but if she were moved in a wee bit more, and the door jam were cropped this imo, would have been super fabulous. But its not too bad the way it is now, I really like it. 9 besides who's the master...lol
