Nice composition here. I like the shutter speed you did here. One of the better images I have seen so far. B/W seems to me to be a good choice.

Nice pose, composition, and lighting. Wish for some eye(ball)s, i.e., looking at camera with an interesting expression would be best, but I'd settle for more visible eyes not looking at the camera, especially for a posed shot.

Very nice job on the pencil motion and her expression. Not sure the softness really works for me, but it still a very nice "education" shot.

Comment by Artifacts:
Nice composition and sepia works well. Well focused. You captured your subject in a studious pose.

The image lacks a full tonal range. Try this... set a black point at the darkest spot in the composition and you may find the image will maintain its current tonality but will have much better contrast and will stand more. It is a little "flat" as it is currently. In photography there is a constant battle between tonality that shows nice gradations from one tone to another and contrast which washes out tones. It is hard to find the happy medium.

Nice clean image, I think to make the most out of duotones, good tonal range across the whole image is essential. So I think this is one of those photos where nothing is wrong, it just isn't the most exciting image and the silohettes don't achieve that tonal range.

nicely done - good use of tone/shadow and light
