      • This is a fantastic moment, framed perfectly. The person in black on the right being partially cut off while getting a sense of the rest of the room is brilliant framing. Most photographers would have gotten in closer, included more of the person on the right, and less of the room, and it wouldn't have been as successful. Very nice job.
