It strikes me as very 'painterly.' But isn't all this a question of taste? Which, God know, is highly personal...;-) B.

The underwater ones are nice but most of the others look like snapshots. The ones on her website http://www.in-public.com/autiofolio.html all look underexposed and too contrasty. Can somebody explain why these photos are exceptional?
