I like the lone balloon signifying the party that never happened, just would have preferred the scene composed a little differently - seems unbalanced.

Seems slightly on the snapshotty side, but I really like the story told by this.

I like the concept here and the expression. This would have been stronger for me with just the window that has all the drops on it, the balloon, and the girl filling the frame.

Good DOF, and the B/W approach works well for this.

Intense photo, dont know how the voters will rate it since the challenge calls for a studio photo, but I think it is too great to rate it low for that reason. Her piercing eyes looking straight at the camera, her pose, and the surrounding make this photo so editorial and fashion forward. Love the b/w conversion too. One of my favorites. 10

Not the classic indoor studio shot, but you really made this work. High marks for a great photo AND for making an non-typical outdoor photo work in the style of a studio shot!!!!!

Excellent photo. Great lighting and the B&W aspect works well. Good pose and facial expression.
