Christian, you are definitely a heavy hitter. Congrats on doing so well. I'm also impressed that you do it almost exclusively with B&W...

I like the picture a lot. I wonder if it would have been better with the entire tree, or if that would distract. nice job.

Great tone and exposure. The blown out highlights work here, in my opinion.

Great shot - Love the lighting and the pose - Just wish there was a fraction more detail in the top of the tree - Still very nice.

Nice image, no real emotional value for me. I am wondering what this would have been like with a bit of a different angle. or maybe even the whole tree, or moving it over to the left more... hmm

very fine reflection of being open to nature and a very calm expression of content
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I like this one, very clean and nice contrast.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

This is the first person in nature shot that really seems to exude alot of emotion for me. I think it comes form the framing and how as the tree opens up there the figure really taking it all in. Maybe its because I connect with living by the ocean, either way it works for me.
