Ah! That clears up a couple of mysteries, Igor. :) In #5 I left the bright RHS to balance the bright LHS window sliver, creating a frame. Glad you like that one!
#9, yeah, pose and expression not the strongest. I suspect it was one of those in-between captures. But the light and framing/composition worked to help flesh out the set for me, so I added it. Thank you again for your feedback!
