I like the urban emptiness with the strand of Chistmas lights and wall air conditioner. Sitting near the window adds a sense of hope instead of despair.

I'll grant you it's "warm", but this is about the ugliest orange I've ever seen a human face :-(

Greetings from the Critique Club

I didn't vote in this challenge, so this is the first time I am seeing this image.

My initial reaction is, good idea, meets the challenge but is a bit weak technically. You have chosen an aperture that will give you a very shallow depth of field, but maybe for an image such as this, you would have been better using a deeper depth of field. I would have preferred to see the chips in focus. As you took the trouble to shoot on a white background, I'd like it to actually be white. Whatever saturation boost you have done, has given it a slightly reddish glow, coming presumably from the reflected light source.

One of your commenters suggested a different angle/perspective and I think I am incline to agree.

Overall, I think it's a nice take on this challenge subject but just spoiled by the slightly weak technicals.

well captured warmth of feeling. Maybe a little oversaturated?

I like the red and black. What I see that bothers me is it looks like you cut the image out of another photo and pasted it onto the red background. Masking out hair can be tricky and takes practice.

Kind of Warhol. Kind of not.

Poor job around her hair....cut and paste is obvious.
