| Poor thing. To me, she looks scared. The coloring seems a bit yellow and red on my screen (but it could be my monitor). I think an empty background (no shoe boxes) would have been less distracting. Good take on the challenge though. :) |

What I don't like about this picture is the following:
a) It's too dark. Try to brighten it a bit using levels or curves.
b) It's too red/yellow. You should either shoot in RAW or adjust the whitebalance. However, it is possible to fix in Photoshop by creating a curve adjustment layer and using the 'Se Grey Point' eyedropper (in the middle) to set the grey/neutral point. The shoeboxes would ideal candidates for this.
c) think you should have fixed the blemish to the left of her mouth or at least made it a bit less pronounced. (People may not want their blemishes removed with fakery but making it less pronounced shoud still have been possible.)
d) The background is awful, a curtain to the left and some shoeboxes to the right. Try to use larger aperture the next time you have such a background in order to make it go out of focus as much as possible.
e) I would also have liked you to use a bit of fill-flash here, both to lighten up her face and also to get some catchlights in her eyes.
f) It also seems like the picture has gone through some extensive editing as her skin looks a bit strange - posterized probably.
g) Oh, and it's a bit soft too boot. A slight unsharp mask might be helpful perhaps? |

| This would have been better with a solid background instead of the boxes and curtains. |
