    Your work to me is quiet and meaningful. The subjects are often hard to read and that keeps my attention. Their expressions seem genuine and unposed.
    On the top image I love the fact that you do the opposite of what most do these days with portraits, which is use way too much contrast. The lack of a true black is nice. It reminds me of this stunning portrait i saw on the weblog the imagist.
    The second image feels a bit cramped. I like the environment, and the subject is nice but i feel as though you could better portray him by taking a few steps back. The vertical nature of the framing leaves a whole lot of dead space up top and makes me feel like he’s getting swallowed up into the black. That could possibly be a good thing though. I like the upward viewing angle of the subject, its different.
    The bottom image I’m on the edge about. It’s very far from a snapshot which is nice. It’s something I find difficult not to do when i photograph at such public places such as that. I love the seriousness of the girl on the right.

    I hope I’m not being over critical. Your work is really improving and I look forward to seeing more of it.

    I really like the first image. It doesn’t seem over thought out. Its simple and that makes it beautiful. I think the composition works for the bottom image, but I am not really a fan of the expression on the expression on the girl in yellow.
