I like the dynamism added by the arbitrary angle, and even though the boat and peer in the painting by the male model's head helps, the girl still feels a bit dominated / heavy.
Almost all of the histogram on this one is in the darker half. Push the contrast and brightness in levels a bit and see the colours jump out.

She looks like she would Kick the butt of anybody who even looks at her funne hehe.
I think your camera angle shows this too.

I find myself looking for a story in the photo. She has an interesting expression, but I keep looking for "something?"

oh, I forgot to ask, incase anyone else decides to read this. I have a question about the softness. Someone mentioned it's too soft for them. I think it's the lense I have, it has a very soft focus. How can I fix this in Photoshop, or can I? Do I just need to save up(way up) for a new lense with sharper focus?

Very nice angle. I think your angle defiantly helped this photo step from a straight on shot. The dim lighting is nice and very appropriate for the piece. I think this is probably a harder subject to photograph because the idea is basic but so perfect for this group. I would have brought the image in some, maybe cropped some of the fireplace or played with makes the subject fit into the law of thirds. Sometime I just try the law of thirds to make sure I am not missing anything. It is really interesting that he may be sitting on a bed, at first I thought it was a couch but since there is no back I would assume its a bed (in addition to the pillow). I also liked that you left the blinds half open. Overall I think you did a good job with the subject you chose. The lighting is nice, I think a harsher light would have taken away from the image. This is a much more respectable first entry then many, my self included. Oh one last thing, I really do like the reflection from the laptop on his face. Good job!

I like the dim lighting -- it really conveys the feeling.

I really like the angle on this one; it almost appears that instead of the camera being tilted, everything in the room is sloped. Better lighting would make this image pop out more -- plus although it's a nice idea, it doesn't fit so well if the idea of a "Portrait", in my opinion.
