CC Hello teachme53
Fits The Challenge-Yes.
Composition-Lovely
Background-N/A
My Opinion-The pose, the girl, the light is so wonderful here....butterscotch cream. The focus is the only negative that I can possible pick at. I like this, I like here, the shot! Good work. Hope you'll try a tripod if you didn't. This is nice work.

John,

I really thought this image would be in the ribbons. I think this is excellent. Good job.

This girl looks kind of old fashioned or maybe a bit churchy. It gives the image an odd feeling for me. The lighting even makes it seem like she's reading a book by candle light.

I'm not sure how this meets the challenge. Regardless, the photo needs to be much clearer and crisper. The focus just isn't there. I'd have lost the glasses too.

This is a nice pose and a picture filled with interest. I wonder, what is she thinking/reding, or what. Questions are good. You are very near to underexposed IMO but it doesn't hurt the effect of your shot. I think I would have cropped it to get rid of the thingy in her hair at the top of your frame. 7

It's in between sharp and blurry. Should be one or the other I think.

focus seems soft.. try a brighter light and higher shutter speed, or use a tripod

Good image for stock. Reminds me of a librarian or a lady contemplating a book (I guess the glasses part way down the nose do this!) but I'm sure it could be used to illustrate many things. Focus is good, exposure seems on the nose. Nice job!

The only thing in focus is the shoulder, maybe shoot it again and concentrate on the eyes.

good work with the light and nice colour tones, the focus looks a little bit off to me.

Parts of this are a bit blurry. Lighting is effective, though.
