  1. I really like your last picture the best of your stranger "now friend". By editing the pic to enhance the blue colors, you connected the person's blue hat with the background. Also, I like how carefree and relaxed she seems. Very good with the surrounding objects including them into the setting and placing the person toward the side.

  2. I think for the third picture the use of cold tone is very well done because it brings out the colors all around the girl (especially that painting on the walls in the background). I like how you centered the picture, and had the girl off to the side. The top one is very artsy, and I like how we can see that shadow going across your face. I think it does something extra for the picture. The contrast in the second one really brings out the subject of the picture, especially due to the shadows in the background on the left.

  3. the cold tone of the last picture really brings out the urban setting. it's nice to see a portrait that isn't only focused on the person in it.

  4. I really like your portrait of the stranger. I think it is an extremely interesting photo and the whole feel of the photo in this urban area has very good composition. I also like how the subject is off to the side, looks like you used the rue of thirds for this picture.

  5. Cassandra, your self portrait is amazing, the angle you toke it at and also the back ground really shows what you were trying to capture. I think if you played with the light in that picture it would've brought all the back ground a little more into detail without taking the focus off of you. Your portrait of a stranger is also pretty cool, I like how you didnt make the stranger the center of the picture. Your friend's portrait is also pretty cool because of the shadow in the back ground.
