Hello from the Critique Club!

I'm not much of a fan of high key shots, but this one works well and does not strike me as blown out. The black and white is well done and is complemented by the grain in this pic.

Being shot at 1/5 sec and ISO 800, this must have been done in fairly low light. Good job on your exposure control!

Your use of the blinds as negative space really works well. The grain of the photo looks very natural over what I am assuming are wood blinds. This really helps keep the grain from being overpowering and helps set a solemn mood.

Congrats on your top scoring photo so far!

I like this - gritty/grainy and blinds create a mood that is echoed on face.

I like this one. The hint of grain works. The vertical lines of the blinds add interest and texture. 7
