Paradise isn't just closed, it's going out of business! Geesh, how sad.

Looks like even more colorful graffiti runs along the side - this would be a good subject for more shots.

Toning you chose seems to work very well with this - that splay of stalks at the top give this shot a lot of interest.

Gorgeous - and the detail in that eyeball is freaky. Fantastic control of DOF.

Soft Ambient

The framing is great - nice echo of the arch of the sofa back with the arch of her body, and the placement of objects give the setting some depth. I think the depth of field you chose is excellent. The shadows and lighting look natural too me, and just what I would expect to see - if you had more "professional" portrait lighting, it would look too much set-up and the viewer would lose the sense of being there, IMO.

Congratulations, Juli, this is really a beautiful shot. Full of humanity and quite touching. Not to mention it hits the nail on the head for the challenge.

I like the processing on this - captures the grittiness of the surroundings without showing all the surroundings.
