Window in th ebackground distracts a bit. Maybe a little less DOF?

good concept. The lighting could be better as the highlights seem a little blown. A different angle might have produced a more unteresting composition and provided a more uniform background.

its only extroardinary if your religious. in my opinion this does not fit the challenge. I also think it would have looked better with a tighter crop on the sides and a little on the top.

Bad Choices

Comment by graphicfunk:
from the Critique Club: This subject matter meets the challenge. It could be the result of choices or, "will I shape up or not" ? I would have definetly taken the crop right up to the left hand elbow. Look you have the right instinct to take an interesting picture. This is an interesting picture because of the semi defiant-expression. It is not the typical cute picture, but it is a picture that we can all relate because we have all been there!
Whatever you did in the processing stole the glory of the picture, because viewers begin to focus on its colorize effect. First, the light was there, evident in the over exposed leg, but you needed to have directed the light at an oblique angle to catch the bowed head. Another light source would have helped. However, this is what we have, and I would consider going back and re-adjusting levels and redo the saturation. While you are in levels, if you use PS, adjust each chanell separate. If not, then use your sat adjustment. I suggest you spend time shooting items and then trying to duplicate the colors. Your minor fault is simply that of processing technique, but you are only a couple of nights of study away. The composition was nice and the idea superb.
