Classic subject. Interesting composition. Excellent tonal range. The only thing I would question is the decision to leave the dark area to the right. I'm not to good with negative space, I prefer to fill the frame so if I question it, it doen't mean it's wrong.

Old Home Place

Looks just like the house Steve Martin lived in in the movie "The Jerk". If you haven't seen it, it starts out with "I was born a poe black boy." And it shows him on the porch with all his family around. They are all black. Not trying to be racist, this picture reminded me of the movie. It's one of my all time favorite movies.
Anyway. This house is a worthy subject for b/w. Good job.

I'm not to keen on the centered straight down composition. I would suggest placing the center of the leaves on the upper left third.

I have no idea what that thing is behind her, but I have to tell you that you have a gem of a model. Black and white is the perfect medium for her. Not to sure about the hand inside the coat. The picture looks so 1950ish. It's wonderful.

Great idea. I think the shadows are fabulous. The tones and lighting wonderful. But the blanket so close to her face gives me a smothering type of unpleasant feeling. And that's funny because I always borrow my head under the covers.

And it's just the start of the day. I love how little kids get fully invested into whatever emotion is passing over them at the time. I bet she/he was as calm as a foggy morning in about 5 minutes. Good photo.
