Geez, I'm all too familiar with that look! Nice expression, and a nice looking girl. Excellent use of DOF to blur out the background, too.

Somehow this appears to me to be more like "suspicion" than contempt. However, it is well lit and a nice shot.

Hi Crab...

The challenge is nicely met here with the 'from above' view. The composition is fine. The exposure looks just a tad on the flat side though. Looking at your settings, I would assume that the image may be underexposed by about one stop or so. A slightly longer exposure (one more stop using 1/400" or so) would possibly increase the saturation on the red in the photo quite a bit. The red awning is showing up some amount of noise and i'm not sure where that is coming from. It could be underexposure, but more likely from post processing on the hue or saturation channel.

This image looks more like a 'per chance' photo than something that you planned... Understanding that, I believe that a different time of day may highlight this scene a little more. Planning for the bicycle rider had to be impossible, but a slightly longer exposure on that issue to create a little motion blur with the rider could have created a really nice piece of eye candy in this photo...

Keep up the good work :)
