I have always had a fondness for B/W photography ever since 1965 when developed and printed my first. B/W is one of the most artistic, creative, and powerful mediums within photography.

Within this photograph there is soft range of gradation of b/w/grays that works well complementing the soft texture of the background and subject. The background although a soothing texture maintains an inanimate coolness offset by the warmth of the subject. Capturing the moment, the magic of still photography, is accomplished well. A wonderful clarity of gaze on a face giving few clues of expression pulls this soft and gentle photograph together.

This photograph merits a 9.

I don't think the cord adds anything to this shot. Because of the lightness, my eyes are immediately drawn to it. Great idea though!

I like witty titles such as this one. I don't know if the cord really adds to the photo, I somehow feel that it is too dark for the tonal balance of the shot.
