'The white bit to the right' is the stairs referred to in the title . .

Very moody and full of emotion - I really like the editing - the grainy feel lends itself well. What a gorgeous niece you have!

Very dramatic portrait. She almost seems sad, and the dark feel of the portrait kinda leads me toward that feeling also. The open white area to the right is a little distracting to me.

Wonderful soft light and tones. Truly looks timeless.

Cool albeit non-traditional edit. To my eye the white thing on the right adds some balance, but you might crop out about half of it so it plays a smaller part in the image.

I like the dark look to this photo. The contrast is awesome. The white object to the right is a bit distracting, though. Nice edit.

great subject for street photography. I think that you have too much contrast as the wood grain of the guitar and bricks in the background have lost the detail. I would pull that back and if this was a raw file add some more clarity to improve the details in the mid tones. Its great to get the reflection in the window but I would have shot it at a different level so that the street light would not meet at his eyes.

First impression:
Great environmental portrait. Your choice of B&W works well with street photography.

Suggested improvement:
The contrast is a little to much for my liking.
