great moment, without the info of the hairpins, i thought the next shot of her would be; her trowing the dishes throught the restaurant
like it though....

I like to see B&W, with a film i really like the grain on it. Interesting shot... sorry I don't really good on Critique. :D a great shot, anyway.

WOW, great DOF, the B&W and grained work good here. the compo is so balanced. Well done

Excellent photo. I like it a lot. The grainy B&W works really well. Even the half eaten food in the foreground is good.

Excellent BW portrait, you succeeded to find a balance between "artisticness" and reality - the girl is still vivid, but already a work of art.
And of course, the grain is lovely, bringing us back then :)

A very cool photo...and I agree with Proxilva...when I first saw this she appeared upset and ready to do some damage...but the explanation makes it more interesting...and sensual in a quiet way. The grain effect and the black and white is perfect.

Very movie-like appearance, good composition, well balanced, well done!

You might keep back some information on pictures like this in order to bring out peoples view on her expression...
I like this one, and I'm amazed by your hunt for pictures. You are so close that you feel you are inside the situation...
Good!

it is a cool shot Morgan, very moody. the guy at the back and this white round thing are a bit distracting though. anyway, the girl makes the shot, great pose and expression. this is moody.

Lovely shot, I would have cropped of some of the dark area top and left. I am guessing that you don't like to do that and compose fully in the camera, which is cool too.
