Firstly well done. Its a big step to move up to imaging strangers and 
getting comfortable with it. Secondly, I like #7 best. It is tight 
and tells the most intimate story. As for the rest, the more distant 
images were so so, and I was especially disappointed that the angle 
they were taken from was always the same.

Of course someone else will think differently
