Hi, as requested, here is an indepth critique of your submission.
First Impression - the most important one:
This was actually one of my favorites of the challenge. Technically it is well done, the duotones work for it and it's just fun.
Composition:
It's a standard portrait composition, not too terribly strong, but not bad by any means.
Subject:
Subject is clear and stands out well against the white background.
Technical (Color, focus, and light):
Color: Your choice of a warmish duotone works well for this image.
Focus: sharp, but not so sharp that it takes away from the softness of this image.
Light: Relatively flat, but flattering.
To grow its vote?:
Was a hard challenge, with many, many entries. This just isn't what the voters were looking for. While, I think it is under-rated, there would be a very slim chance of pushing a portrait to the front of a "free study" challenge.
Summary:
Nice portrait work, well done and you had fun with it.
Hope to see more from you soon,
Leroy
