This is great. Reminds me of something from the 20's.

Really weird how the plane of focus doesn't seem to be parallel with the angle the camera took the shot from, but this is a great capture.

19 - Portrait #2

The title makes me want to claw my eyes out, but this is a great portrait with a candid feel. Torn on whether or not it might work better with the hand/mouth in focus as well, but the expression on her face and the details throughout are excellent. The longer I look at it the more I see mischief in those eyes!

Yeah the tilted horizon is a shot killer for sure. Also this was a free-study so the bar tends to get raised very, very high. I could see this shot winning some sort of challenge like 'odd fellows' or something that would really make the most of the duck and ship in the scene. You should note this location for use in the future. Also hitting it later in the day or early in the morning would provide some much nicer light to work with.

Captured some very haunting lighting here that works well with the run down look of the hall. Nice exposure.

As I'm browsing through the pages of b/w side challenge images, I have to say I'm finding myself repeatedly popping open thumbnails to see that the images belong to you. These are my kind of photos. I'm not a huge fan of texture overlays, but the images themselves are so strong and work so well in b/w that it hardly matters.

Thank goodness for side challenges so stuff like this can get a little play on the site.

Great details and rich tones. Slightly wider dof might have worked a bit better as his skin tones are so close to the background that his shoulders tend to melt away into the bokeh in a somewhat unsettling fashion.
