Very nicely done! I like the simplicity here. The use of black & white is great, and the lighting is really well done. Some folks will probably say that they would have eliminated the little girl in the background, but I think it really adds to the shot. Having her playing joyfully in the background, to me, helps to tell a story of a girl who is determined to get her homework done despite the temptations of having fun instead. My only 10 of the challenge.

Like the b/w and dof. Hard to stuy with a giggling sister in the back.

Lovely look of contentment on this child's fact! Strong composition in black and white with a great tonal range. Child in background is mildly distracting, but otherwise nearly flawless.
