I really like that the angle of the hat, the angle of the glasses, and the angle of the cigarette ... all match. I'm not sure why, but the highlight on the sleeve and the highlighted hair also really catch me.

I stared at this for awhile during voting, trying to figure out if it was a Jutilda SP, because of the hat. I finally came to the conclusion that there was no way in hell that was you, despite all your secret identities. A wee bit of irony, that you turned out to be the photographer after all! Very nice, by the way, like the negative space.

I like the stark contrast in this. It really adds to her sense of isolation.

I like the contrast, lighting and pose. However, I am not sure what the Landscape format gives you but dead space...
