This background is a bit busy--
All these things are competing for focus which detracts from the impact of the purple binder:

*the two-tone stripe pattern on the wall
*the brick pattern
* the texture in the shrubbery
*the twiggy lines of the branches
* the broken line created by the grey/white elements on the stair wall
*her large, shiny studded belt

a wee bit overdone on the old hue scale non?

Nice candid. The color contrasts very nicely against the drab wall

Nice job with the candid, as they are ushaly the hardest to shoot. However, the subject doesn't realy connect with the camera and this image just doesn't seem to "Burst". Perhaps slightly desat-ing the backround would have helped.

Meets the challenge but needs work on the composition. Perhaps a tighter crop on the girl or just remove some of the excess room to the right...it just seems the one side has too much visual weight with the girl and tree all shoved to one side

Colors seem a bit too tweaked with the greens showing up in her sweater and on her watch.

interesting idea, but i dont think it was well excicuted. the green on her wrist and forarms looks awful, and the blue seems to be bleeding ... the premise behind this was sound but the effect was just pushed too far

I just love this photo! It's perfect for this photo. With the winter look of the scene and the dark red & tan background, the color on her jeans and notebook really do burst forth. Great job.

This would be SO much better if it were rotated ccw to square the vertical lines; there are SO many of them it's very disturbing. Great capture.
