 Picture taken with natural light through a window. She is a third year medical student so she is studying in debt but I thought she'd make a good subject of my "free study".

Tongue-in-cheek! Well-done. The edges just look a little jagged.

I rarely give 10s, but here I can't resist her look - great concept, lighting, expression and all that stuff

Classic B&W adds a portrait feel to this in addition to making the image clean and simple without distractions of color. Lighting is spot on with it calling our eye's attention directly to the model. Pose, dress, and expression of the model also plays into the concept of 'playful' study. Very well done. One suggestion I have that could possibly add to the composition is to have had the model hold the book at a 45-60 degree angle such that the title of the book would be visible - and it would be titled "The Study of the Human Body" of course (or some title similiar to that - a textbook that I believe some art students studying how to draw the human body would use).

ROFL THis is cute. I like the lighting and post editing. In a perfect scenario, the floor would have been wooden planks. Thanks for the morning chuckle.
