Love interior shots in black and white. Background is very well detailed, but I think a closer focus on the couple, or even a zoom on the tea glasses would make it even better.

Also very nice but the other one really grabs the eye and totally stands out.

Like the brown toning. My favorite part of the image is actually the line of meters. The bags in the foreground give it some highlight, but the marching look of the meters could be a shot in itself.

Lovely greens. What a beautiful study in natural symmetry.

Nice. Looks like a news clipping from WWII or something.

Day 07

Now, what were you trying to achieve? Did you want texture of the shoe and laces or did you want to show contrasts in light. That makes a difference where you place your light. One thing you might have considered is manually triggering the flash unit as placed behind the subject and pointing at a light backdrop. Using your camera flash, you could deflect the light perhaps to the right with the flash unit triggering behind the shoe. This might give more separation between the background and the shoe. It is hard to get decent light with one flash unit. You need at least two, and the one on the camera is always a problem because you don't want it to be really strong. Anyway, I will look up my info on still lives and see if I can give you a few light set ups.

A bit muddy. Need some better light to bring out a few highlights which is really important in b&w. This one is too much in the midtone range. You need to look at subjects that have a lot of potential for deep rich blacks and bright highlights, and the mid tones should have more variation.
