an interesting moment to depict. I want to see more of the phone, better focus, and I'd adjust the angle so the table top was the only background.

Comment by Neil:
There's perhaps too little of these objects in the picture to be called a still life. Also, the lighting isn't very interesting (flat). And since we don't know anything about the call, I have trouble relating. (Though I am a big fan of starbucks!)

I think a closeup of the contents of the cup might have been an interesting still life. Or at least maybe a top down arrangement of cakes with the startbucks cup as the "non-cake" element, taken from the top, with good light. Maybe next time.

Nice use of negative space!

Nice contrasts in this image. I do think the white is a bit harsh - I'd like it better if it was a little toned down. That said, it really sets off the subject, both her skin tone and the black burqua?. I like the long look of the photo, but would prefer it cropped a little, I think it would still hold its length well. Good composition, the girl looks alone and has a sadness to her that I can easily equate with isolation and solitude. Nice job. 7

The positioning of the subject doesn't really work for me. There is just too much empty space in the photo. Clearly that was your intent so maybe it's just over my head. (no pun intended)

Too much of background, but the contrast between black and white is a neat idea.

If only the focus was a bit sharper...

This is a very powerful image, both in its visual impact and with the title you have given it. Lovely face, and the only suggestion I might have would be to crop a bit off the top...9
