Nice range of tones throught the image. Also like the interaction between the sharp/well defined fibers and the softer, more muted fiber in the background. Got a bit of jagged edges showing up on my screen though as if it were just a hair too sharp. USM with fine lines is always a tough one though. Overall, really nice shot.

Good pose, interesting expression. I don't think the grain enhances the photo really, though it does give some life to the shirt. For me, the sharpening really sinks the shot though. Other than that, I like it.

Nice capture. Expression on his face reminds me of how I used to feel having to throw on the church clothes as a kid.

Very nice. Big fan of patterns in photos and this one certainly delivers. Also like how the glass blocks create different tones throughout the piece. The texture around the edge is a nice addition, though I would probably fall in the camp of a slightly tighter crop around the 3 exposed edges. Good stuff.

Like the tones in this, and it works very nicely against the black background.

Love the processing. Combined with her expression it gives the photo a lot of impact. Angry red, harsh lights, the grain. Only thing missing is her giving the finger really. Nice shot.
