I love the center of focus on the woman in the mirror, and all the hazy details surrounding her. I think black and white was a great choice for this scene because it reduces the distraction and brings out the essential elements of the moment. Few photos do as well with as much 'obstruction' in the forground but I really like the two figures and the ammount of space they take up. Good work!

A unique view of the medina! Unusual use of B&W and grainy texture. I also like the tight focus on the woman's reflected face; it's the only way that such a busy foreground does not dominate the photo's true subject. I hope your title is sarcastic :) The medina was anything but silent when I was there! A note is always nice.
TFS,
Whitney
