  2. Some of these are really good pictures in my opinion! #6, #12 and #13 are really standing out in the set. #6 is a nice classic example of pattern and texture while #12 and #13 are really nice and playful with the use of reflections and they are all framed really well!

    These would look good with some extra grain in it too, I have a friend who still shoots film a lot and your style reminds me of theirs.
