looks like your door is leaning. Good lighting on the model, but the umbrella has almost no detail in it at all, I would have liked to see some there.

Comment by Tygerr:
I definitely don't want to go into definitions of bokeh, because that seems to court controversy on this site.
However, I looked at your profile, and I think you probably would have scored much higher if you had shot your entry for the Shallow DOF challenge for this one, and this image had been used for that challenge.
That other picture seems to benefit more from the bokeh than this one does.
This picture is still a wonderful photo though. I really do like the use of the DOF, and the composition is really strong.

the black against the pink wall is great, but I find the dining room totally distracting. This photo would have been much better with a large expanse of wall behind the subject and maybe just the moulding around the doorway showing- or maybe a small piece of art work somewhere to confirm it was indoors

Hmm, the composition seems to be a little bit off.
I would've included a little bit of water drops here and there..

Im thinking black raindrops or confettie or something. it needs a Visual effect to show 'It's' Raining. other wise this is more along the lines of 'Is it' Raining.

Also, doesn't give me the feel that he is indoors. The lighting suggests outdoors. Even though the doorway looks inside.

The black umbrella and the wall provide a great contrast
