Hey Andy,

I enjoyed visiting your web site. The uncluttered layout made it easy to navigate...I think'll give up being accessable and start using frames too!

Of your images I liked Angel #4 the most. The close cropping gives it impact and the dominate light tones compliment the subject well.

As for your images in general, is it my monitor or are they all low contrast (e.g. no strong shadows)? For me the images would be improved by better contrast, both local and overall.

I also noticed that some of your images have backgrounds of an uneven tonality that might suggest exhausted film or paper developer( e.g. Beauty Queen #4, Karen, untitled #2)..or it could just indicate a preference for backgrounds with varied tones. I'm certainly not an expert on developing, hopefully others will take a look and offer their opinions.

You may not have noticed that several of your images have thin white lines on some of their edges (e.g. Human Conrast). I find them distracting. Of course others may find the contrast intriguing or dramatic...I just thought I'd point them out in case it's something you overlooked.

I'm new at this critique business so it's safe to say that...no emotional trauma or internal bleeding intended.
