Great shot, love the fact that the clouds directly around the top of the building are brighter making the building look somehow alive!

I don't think the contrast of the brightly coloured top and the black background work too well here. The portrait itself is nice, but the black background is actually distracting because of its harsh contrast with the lady.

Remembrance...

This is a nice shot, but there are 2 things which I feel could have improved it. The first is that the frames of the glasses are partially covering the eyes, and from what I can see, there is an interesting expression there so it makes me want to see the eyes better. The second is that there seems to be a slight blur, perhaps motion blur in the shot, probably a result of the shutter speed being too slow.

Great shot, and good use of b&w to highlight the details and textures. Skin tones seem a touch dark though, as though you applied a blue filter or some similar effect. Like it a lot though, 7.

Good well lit shot, but when I first looked at it I felt as though there was a sad look there, which contrasts with what you have for the topic. Still, good shot all the same. 7

Nicely composed and well lit shot.

This is a well composed powerful shot. I am drawn to the lady straight away, but then I find myself looking over the whole area of the shot and thinking about it. 8

The cropping here feels a little tight at the bottom. I think opening this out a little would have helped.
