"I adore the complimentary color palette in this shot. The composition is also fantastic with a clear foreground, middleground and background." - Lesa Snider
"This shot is so genuine and the composition is so believable that it feels like photo journalism instead of a photo shoot. I can feel the warmth of the little cafe as well as the coldness of outside. It’s also all the more striking in black and white. This image really speaks to me. " - Lesa Snider
"I love the composition and colors in this shot, and the splash is nice and sharp, which can be challenging to accomplish." - Lesa Snider
"An iconic image beautifully carried out in modern times. I love the contrast, composition, and texture of the background. I also love the feminine — not sexual -- feel of this image. The two top buttons are left open on the model’s shirt but there’s no cleavage so as not to distract from the powerful message." - Lesa Snider
