Great job, Aubrey!! Excellent photo, and great placement in the challenge! You missed a ribbon by 0.031! Very close... (so close it hurts, I imagine... I got 4th last week) LOL!
One of my favorites..... depicts an overlooked point of view, and beautifully done with b&w. The image is carefully composed, and the reflection of the face in the window is thoughtfully included.
An interesting take on the challenge, seeing it from the teacher's angle instead of the student. At first I wasnt too sure about the reflection in the window but it slowly grew on me. There does seem to be a white halo near the ledge and just under her chin that is a little distracting as my eyes are actually drawn to the reflection the most. The choice of black and white is good to set the broody mood of anticipation, or at least it comes across to me that she is not looking forward to being back at school from the lighting, pose, and choice of b&w. Overall it's a good image, I like it.
I like this but think it would be better with a slightly different angle. The reflection of her face in the glass is very nice but its impact is lost by the sharp line of the roof outside, so if that were in a different spot in the window (or if she were) the effect would be stronger.
Nice looking teacher! They never seemed to look like that when I was in school :)
I like the use of B&W here, and how the shot tells a nice story. My only minor gripe is that I may have moved the teacher to the right window because the gutters of the building in the background seems to blend into her hair a bit too much. - 8
This is my favorite shot in the challenge! So many shots are concepts based on the children's point of view (not to mention a few animals). I like your thought process of the teacher's perspective... Black and white is a great choice for this image. Composition follows the rule of thirds in several instances. I also like that whe is reflected in the window. My favorite sister in law looks very much like this girl! Amazing similarity... Nicely done and I give it a 10. Good luck in the challenge!

It kind of looks like a mixture between old fashioned and very modern, I like the black and white here... great detail in the teachers reflection! I think this is a really cool photo! Not perfect, but I'm still giving it a 10
