I can't believe this didn't finish higher. I loved how it looked like a collage of portraits. High key is great for this. It's like a sense of chaos with order in there somewhere lol. Very nice.

Must be fun to catch working actors you paparazzo you - she sure doesn't look like she is all that into him though (grin) If you cut this shot off right above the fire hydrant, it kinda makes a funny statement too.. the healthy drink, the dead butts under the hydrant, like they have been put to death...another whole world beneath the legs of the humans.

So Hopper-esque it hurts. I love it.

Uh oh...here comes a technical comment...
The space up top could be cut in half (or more) even with my minimal editing stance that would have been something I might have done. That's always been a pet peeve when you ask a stranger to take a picture of you and your group of pals and they frame your heads dead center leaving plenty of sky or ceiling lights....big bummer. ;)

This is wonderful - I really like it. I love the sense of isolation and loneliness it creates. Very well seen and captured, and nice work for hand held, too.

Love the grain and the hint of rain on her chest. And the reflections. Has a sort of expectation feel to it - like she sees someone she's going to meet. DEFINITELY better in B&W.

I love the poster behind her! It really adds to the shot, if you look only at the top half of this, it's almost as though he's talking to the poster...

2000 thousand ISO! My D40 gets grainier with 800... : (

I like the stream of light on the street...in BW it ties in with her skin and wet gleam on her chest. She seems to be in a rush and this is accentuated by the feeling that she is just about to walk past the picture frame.

Well, if you hadn't said who they were then I would never have realised. I have never heard of Raul Esparza, but I do recognise Elizabeth Moss. Well done and I don't blame you for posting this one.

This has a good Americana feel to it -- alone late at night in the city that never sleeps. Great neon colors.
