I'd prefer this in colour. :)

Graphic shot of a common subject, seems a bit softer towards the right edge, but I like seeing lens flare from 'the other side' for a change. The cropped bottom jars a bit.

Not sure it entirely fits 'low-key' but is mostly black on black.

lovely. The concentric circles focus on the shadow and the girl - graceful feeling.

I gave this an 8 originally. But its been playing on my mind for a day or so, so I figure that makes it worth a 10

that commentry on the book or on the site ? I like the use of the rule of turds in this shot. The focus placed on the bruise on the right leg can't be praised highly enough.

very well executed fore/mid ground macro though the background could be hugely improved by taking some more care to present a less distracting blurred result. The brown/ white elements jar with the blue/white and brown elements in the foreground and form a distracting merger with the feelers. Could probably be made almost seamless with some movement to bring the green leaves to cover the rear of the composition and might make for a much stronger final result.
