Beauty is in the beholder of the eye

As some of you know, I've been taking a photography class. My latest homework: exploring depth of field and aperture. My latest test subjects: the teenager and the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

I call this series: "Beauty is in the beholder of the eye."

Note: I took the photos with my little Canon PowerShot S95, as opposed to my new Nikon D3100, as we were fleeing a freezing house (no power all last week) and only had so much room. Considering the limits of my little camera, I think the photographs came out very well.
