This is a great idea, very mysterious and the black and white makes it very effective,love the texture. However the small shadow on the right side is a little distracting.

Comment by ericwoo:
While not a bad idea, this image could have benefited from some better execution and post-processing. First of all, the shadow at the bottom right corner strongly competes with your subject. As my eye wanders the frame, it is captured in attempting to figure out what that shadow is. Secondly, the tonal range is fairly flat. I'd like to see the shadows deeper and darker without losing much of the detail that is there. I'd also like to see the whites with a little more pop. As it is, there is far too much gray over the entire image. Last, I'd like to see a more straight-on capture of the shadow. The angle of the shadow adds a great deal of distortion to the figure that I know to be human. Again, nice idea, and with some more time spent in shooting, I think that this one had greater potential. As it is, I score it a 5.

Nicely disorienting. Could be gymnast ready to do a handspring or cartwheel. Or maybe it is shadow puppet time. I like the hair giving a sense of motion.

I thought the image was too soft. Focus on the eyes would have made this photo better.

Comment by Sterling87:
the picture lacks sharpness and I'd like to see a closer crop with the top of the frame somewhere around the top of her 'wave' and the bottom just cutting off the lowest corner of the SAT book

I think that the paper is kindof blown. The " F" should pop out more to the viewer...
