While the 1st picture dribbled through the wire I saw the dark corner first and thought 'Well THIS time she got it a bit dark' but then came THE LIGHT! It is so great to see this picture where an artificial light source would have flashed the light out of it. The light points to the center of interest. This picture really hit me. 2nd picture: Great again! There is one thing I cannot see clearly on the screen. But I think it is there: Is the man looking in the doctor's direction? If so it is this very moment where it hurts but the investigated person doesn't dare to say a word nor turn the head. 3rd picture: I have to confess that this picture stroke me the least which does by far not say that I don't like it. I tried to find a possibility to make this feeling more concrete but I cannot! Perhaps it is the half newspaper which distracts the view? Maybe it should be cropped to the two persons only? Maybe it is too dark in the top? Afterlooking again I think you best leave it as it is. But on a guided tour through your great pictures I would take this first. It is the one that opens the mind through the smile of a gentle person. Now a bit less technical stuff: What I like at your pictures is that I could sit down and write a complete story aroud them. They tell so much more about the scene, the people living there, the people helping there. And about you as a great photographer. Thank you for sharing your pictures with us. christoph
