I enjoy the tones and the gaze, she seems at peace while her favorite dad shoots her portrait. :)

an excellent example of taking the mundane and turning it into some thing beautiful to look at.

I love the desolation of it all. To someone unfamiliar with the local weather, it would seem doomed forever and left behind.

I like the conversion to black and white, it looks almost infrared. For my personal tastes I think the effects on the sky are alittle too much.

Timing is great as you have him mid-stride. I like the play of the light in the hallway.

The moment is perfect. I agree with the other commentors about a levels adjustment. For input levels I tried (5, 1.59, 216) You can load those up in the dialog box. My thought process was that I looked at the histogram and saw that there was some empty space on the right and moved that slider until it was into the histogram. THen the middle slider to lighten the midtones, then moved the far right to darken it and give a bit of contrast in the dark bits. Another way that may help before you shoot is to use center-weighted or spot metering modes. This will have your camera make the exposure reading from the middles, which may have made your background really bright but the face and moment would be just right. :)

its seems to be leaning abit to the right. I like the perpsective and the patch of clouds on the ground. It has a real vintage feel.
