Good exposure on this shot. It seems to have a bit of a soft focus, which I really like with the B&W tones of the photo.

Great black and white...expressive and emotive. Nice contrast and good control of the exposure on the whites. :)

well lit. good contrast and sharpness - yet it still retains a certain softness to it. Well done.

Is that vignetting? It looks bizarre, and works against the casual feeling of the photo.
