I'm impressed with the high quality of b/w work this week. This is another great example of tones, focus and composition coming together and working in harmony to create a beautiful shot! 9
I really like this! The lighting is good with lots of nice shadows and contrasts that makes the black and white work well. I also like the fact that you have got in close. The smile, the phone, and the twirling of the cord all suggest an intimacy, which is further complimented by the close crop. Very well expressed.
very emotive, natural. I like how her hand is twisting the cord, I like the lighting and how it illuminates her smile and gives dimension to her face (nice DOF use too) Composition of hands mouth and phone are just what is needed, no more, no less. great! 10
