The photograph was taken in front of my window... It was shot in color and I turned it into black and white by using the channel mixer. This is my first submission so please be kind

Thank you all for your votes and advice on how to take better pictures. I have enjoyed my first Challenge entry and look forward to hearing more from you all on my next one.

Greetings from the Critique Club...

I think this is an excellent image but I don't think the border you chose for it works particularly well. The white at the top leaves 'holes' in the overall composition. A black border would have done the same thing at the bottom of the image. There is a nice median that you may wish to try on something like this though. You could possibly create a 2 pixel white border around the original image and then add a black border. This would give you the separation you need. You could also reverse that idea and use a thin black border with white padding as well...

Nice silhouette. I like the background, but I wish it was blurred a little more.

Very nice! Just would've liked to get rid of the crop on the top, especially since you chose an all-white frame.

I really like this. The pose is humble and thoughtful. Nice and sharp too.
