This one has nearly got me going for my handkerchief. You've made that despair look so real. Shame I can't see her eyes though, eyes really show true despair. But going by your title she is hiding so you've justified that. It's a nice tight crop which isn't negative at all in this image, in fact it enhances it a lot more. Choice.

This tugs at my heart strings. I feel like we've all been where she is. Great job.

Nice lip gloss! I would have left that off in order to convey the mood better.

Conveys "despair" fairly well. Nice lighting, and a nice clear well focused, well composed shot. It looks like she has lipstick on, and I got to tell you, if I was in despair, that's the last thing that I would concern myself with.

Very nice shot. I like the composition and the idea. The bubbles came out pretty in contrast to the shadow. The colors or something about it seem too drab. Nice job. 6
