#1 There are strong diagonal lines, contrast between light and dark and also, there is no background, which makes the photo much more interesting as a close-up.

#2 I like how hands look on this photograph, also the composition and shadows work together creating balanced image.

#3 I like how the areas between the body work together with the background. The texture is really nice and strong white and dark areas make it really interesting.

#4 The lines are soft and there are strong white and dark areas. The composition is interesting as the object is moved to one site and we can see the background on the other. I like the idea that the body don't look natural.
