Wall Flower B&W

Comment by CNovack:
I like the simple and clean presentation of this final version rather than the cluttered and busy overlay of 'wallflowers' in the other version you posted. This is minimalistic high key at it's best. Those big, beautiful luminious eyes of this little girl really reach out and draw you in. I also like that she seems to be 'emerging' out from the right hand side of the composition...like she is stepping out from the light into our field of vision

Love the contrasting textured fabrics chosen with the B&W. Fabulous smile, freckles and big deep dark eyes against the background. Wonderful photo!

Love the title. You have some very strong compositional elements here. The guitar tilted at the diagonal of which the lines follow or nearly follow the opposite corners of the photo. The guitar slung on the back of this cowboy invokes the imagery of the 'singing' cowboy and the song "Home on the Range". The B&W compliments the photo nicely for it helps us focus on the details such as the textures in the hat and the contrasts in the shirt and neck of the guitar. Really nice B&W tones in this one - very dynamic and not flat. Lighting is for the most part wonderful. My only two critiques which would have bumped this into the 8 or higher range is that I wish the cowboy had turned just enough so we would get a true profile - one that would not have his chin hidden behind the shoulder. The second is that the lighting be just a bit more under the brim of the hat to see the eye and the nose in the profile. Having a stronger side profile of this cowboy I feel would heighten the visual interest. Bumping up to a 7.
