Her work speaks volumes so I need say no more.

Agreement.

A back-handed compliment, surely?

Take the first example presented: 'Basant'. Basic rules of Figure x Ground relationship are not understood at all. Hint: Make the background behind the shoulder catching the light (model's R) DARK, and, conversely, LIGHTEN the wall behind the darker L shoulder.

But here I break my own rule of never to proffer a criticism of a work, (unless paid to do so), and I won't say no more.

I found the works refreshing, perhaps with advancing years it is good for me to see 'rules' bent.
