I like your idea, nice b/w study. Focus seems a bit off, think you could have burnt in more than just around the edges to make for a more dramatic photo.
You had a good image, but it went wrong during post processing. I can see very well where you made selective adjustments. The image doesn't feel real anymore. 5.
Great shadows and use of b/w. Love that you choose a shot with one girls back turned, and that the image is front and centered. Really nice composition. Well done.
I like this image and the concept, but wish I could see a little more of the foreground person's face or body. Without the title, I"m not sure that I would have known she was whispering.
This is a really nice candid, the only two things I dont really like are the softness and the halo (which may be a result of the softness) I think a soft filter can add to a photo, but maybe only half as much as was used here. Some dodging/burning might help get rid of the resulted halo.
