Hi, my name is Kari and from the critique club.
First Impression - the most important one:
Not often in the comments i would say DNMC ... I did that as I felt your model was not framed by the window as well as she could have been.
Composition:
The composition has her head at the very center of the picture .. for this pose this works . .but it will not always be that way .. have you looked into the tutorials on DPC .. their may be some interesting advice there.
Subject:
I think your model is great ... but the challenge was "Frame the subject of your photograph using the window (as in from a building)." with her back framed by the crop and the right side of the picture without a true frame it didn't seem to do this.
Technical (Colour and light):
Black and white was a good choice .. but the grain filter I think got you slaughtered in the scoring. The size of the picture is good but the quality of the picture is lacking and this is probably due to the way you took the pic with the ISO settings etc. Without that information I can't help you.
To grow its vote?:
Thinking outside the box is great .. but still take into account the use of the camera and ensure that you get enough detail in the picture without blowing out the highlights too much.
Summary:
Good shot .. you are doing overwell very well according to your portfolio. look forward to seeing more.
