One nice photo. Like everything in and about it.

Placing the subject dead center usually doesn't work and to my eye weakens the play of angles you created.

I love this shot, although I would've picked a stunning back page to finish off the punch.

I love the midst in the background. Nice lighting too. My only complaint is that she doesn't look naturally posed or even comfortable. Other than that, cool idea.

The B & W really works well. I am curious as to what made you chose to center the subject rather than adhere to the rule of thirds.

Very nice, like the idea, the paper is the main subject here, good work, 10.

I would like to see this with a boost in contrast.

Very nice. I thought you might be shooting for this challenge when I saw you taking this series.

The first thing I notice is the centred composition, so you can't see much of the nice beach, but I guess that's the point. They are missing the scenery. I like that you just see the top of their head, buried in the paper. It just lacks a little punch. A slight S-curve in the levels would help to pop it out, or whatever editing methods you are comfortable with.

not bad - just lacks any 'wow'

A classic in B&W, well done

i like how the fog makes a place that is traditionally open and deep and more desolate alone feeling. Almost devoid of the openness of the outdoors.

this image might be stronger if the subject were moved just a bit to the left of center.

Nice crisp image, creative take on the challenge (of getting to the beach & back!) That place looks vaguely familiar.
