One of the few shots here where B&W helps enhance the picture, rather than hide defects. Well done.

that doesn't look like a very comfortable place or position to sit. makes a nice photo though, I guess.

Nice. Even better if she'd been sitting a little mor to the R for the shadowless bg. Good eye.

great job with the straight lines, like the contrast of her shirt and her position - it's the shadow that 'bugs' me. good job.

The fence kind of overpowers your subject. If you were shooting for a "frame" effect I would have cropped it immediately above the cross post.

I like the pattern the fence (?) makes. I think it would have seemed more balanced to me if the reader had been about 4 posts to the right. From a different angle, I think it would have also been a nice shot without the reader.

I like the vertical lines in this shot.. you have also done a great job with the framing... The shadow on the fence is a little strange and i may like this photo even better in a horizontal view with a tighter crop... good job!

Perhaps too much dead space on top.

I wish the shadow (from trees I assume) didn't exist, it distracts from the image.
