There are a LOT of elements that make a well felt mood. The browns in the wall,papers,clothes and face really tie the picture together well. I love how you melted the hair,book and shirt into the shadows to focus attention on the notes. The face skin texture is absolutely heaven perfection. The hint of hand motion breaks up the static elements ( this is very, very good!).I like the worn edge on the textbook and the triangle of elbow that repeats the other triangle elements. An excellent portrait....8..bullwinkle

Very nice photo. Great lighting. Not sure what he is scratching in the notebook maybe drawing something from the text book or just being tired and letting his mind flow. I did that a lot.

The more I look at this picutre the more I like it. I like the soft lighting and the colors. I only wish that whatever you are writing didn't look so much like scribbling.

The best student shot in this challenge. The lighting and composition is just excellent. Nice colors, like time has stood still since the monks studying their bibles in their dark brown cells.

Nicely done. My only critique is that I'd like to see more of that light on the book instead of just having one corner brightly lit. It would make a nicer gradient on the wall, too. Small potatoes. Well done!
