Greetings from the Critique Club!
First off, welcome to DPC! I notice you recently registered and this is your second challenge. I hope more is to follow.
Technicals:
The lighting is good. I like how the lighting falls off a bit on the edges giving it somewhat of a vignette look. Maybe for this challenge the "old feel" sepia may not have been the best choice but overall I liked it.
Subject/composition:
Good choice in subject. However, I wish she was looking at the camera to give it more of a portrait look rather than a candid/snapshot look if you know what I mean. Also, next time move the lamp a bit to the right so it is independant from her head. In terms of the composition it's good. All in all you I think you did a good job of capturing her in her environment.
Summary:
Good photo one that I think was underrated looking at the score. The processing may not be everyone's taste but it's by no means bad. Also, the image is on the soft side (i.e. not sharp). Just to let you know those types of images tend to not do as well in the challenges so keep that in mind in the future. Personally, I think it works fine here. The main thing for me is she isn't looking at the camera and therefore it's harder to "get to know her" if you know what I mean.
That's it. If you have any questions feel free to PM me. Good luck in the future!

| This is more of a family album type shot than a portrait IMO. The lamp appears to be growing out of her head. |

| The toning is too strong for me. Like the sense of being there. |

| I was really attracted to this in thumbnail. The composition is great, the subject works. The large version has some funny bits init, I'm not sure what is happening. At first it looks over sharpened because there are some halos but then I look carefullly and its not sharp at all. I still like it |

| the challenge was to take a portrait - not a candid - of a subject in their environment. You got the environment right, but this is not truly a portrait as much as it is a candid. The over all yellow cast is not very eye appealing. |
