You captured the essence of this incident with the plastered newspapers on the wall. Like the toning too.

Nice historical story. Would be better if we could read the shirt, even better if he were holding and looking at a picture of her.

the coloring is a little off-not sure if i like it. it makes the newspapers look old, which is good, but the person's skin looks weird.

The color and white of the shirt really pop on this one, but the black wall on the right is very distracting.

I'm a bit lost on the meaning of the photo. As an ambassador, was Samantha kept in a closet? The image is technically decent. It gives the feel of the time and the selective desat/sepia works well. It's what the image is trying to portray that loses me. 4

Had to Google this one and still don't quite get the logic of the composition. Followed by media, not able to see behind a curtain, in a box ... not quite clear. I may just be dense.
