When you concentrate on the image, the walls seem to move :)

Nice angle, good lighting for a grainy feel. Good pose too, wouldn't change any of that. I like digital grain (longer exposure, low light) for some reason. Many don't. *shrug* I agree with the crop comment, I would try to get, say, the ridge of the nose at 1/3rd up from the bottom by cropping of a little of the top -- just for that final touch. :)

I think this photo is really nice. It has a quiet serene feel to it. The composition is good, I think you could crop a bit of the top out and not loos anything. Overall I think its a nice shot.

If you could only have pushed the puppy back to the left 4inches. I find the hard horizontial in the upper right distracting. Clone out the button in the wood also, it is the first thing my eye goes to cause its shiny. The model is nicely composed, but the face is a little under exposed. I cannot see the eyes. try to lighten up this area in photoshop.

Nice shot, I think the people need to be a bit larger in the frame. Then you could have also done a selective desat of the umbrella to catch the eye of the audience. Nice overall composition with not centering the subjects. If they are walking on a path, perhaps a bit of burning on the path to seperate it from the grass knoll?

As a black and white I think its a great photo, but as an example of a high contrast image, to me it has way too much grey area and it seems evenly toned from highlights to shadows.
