02. 01/00 -
03. 08/00 - I love the coloring and center crop // pretty greens and nice colors // The green color is very well put, between the light and the background, which makes the subject stand out, but doesn't giver her a green tint. // The negative space is so clean and lovely plus neon green is such a fantastic vibrant colour!

13. 04/01 - great crop, lovely colouring and nice contrast of white decoration
