On the train

I wish there was something interesting outside the window but I still like this shot. I've purposefully kept it on the soft side and a little less saturated than what I would normally go for. Thoughts?

Ken,

I'm not a portrait person, but in this photo a part of the jacket sleeve seems pin sharp and competes for attention with the girls face and eyes, especially since its smack in the centre.

I think the jacket needs desaturating so the face takes over as the main part of the photo.

Like the colours and I disagree with something outside the window being helpful, as it would be yet another distraction. I like the concept and the "I'm shattered look, go away" mood of the picture.

Thanks for the input. I'll play around with it a bit.

This was a hip shot on the way home from a day spent walking around DC. She was totally beat and tired of me taking pictures of her all day. It just seemed so right.

this picture is so crystal...i feel like she is sitting right beside me. I would clone any relection out of the window..keep it dark

This is one of the sharpest pictures I have seen ina while. The color saturation also looks fine to me. Well done
