This is such a cute portrait! She doesn't look too too happy about doing her photo shoot, but that pouty little look adds so much to the mood of the photo. She is adorable!

Very nice, Jeffrey! The sparkling chandeliers give this a little more punch than just normal staircase or rotunda shots.

Cool shot Jeffrey. I think it would be neat with a little saturation boost. JMO

I love this. It's plain simple and really good. I like her non-expression. Great freckles.

This is a really neat looking shot. This would have been fantastic for the "Pattern" challenge. I like this much better than the B&W version.

Hi, Greetings from the Critique Club:

Composition: I had to work this to show you what I mean. I am glad you were inspired by another photographer...but there are some areas that have let you down. There is way too much vacant space. It is good to have vacant space...but I can still see some detail in it...and that just confuses and then loses the viewer. I know the image that inspired you had books...but it was also taken at a different angle. Please see my version below. This could have been better if I had worked on the large version...but it is just to give you an idea.

Technical: As you can see I have darkened the book area some more to alleviate the distraction...and the image becomes more peaceful, more relaxing. The chair seems welcoming. I also touched the Hue/Saturation and Brightness/Contrast.

Overall: I think you were on the right track...you wanted an old feel to the image and yet to be inviting and calming. You did that but you were lost with a few of the details. Watch your details in the future and you will find the image you are looking for.

Okay, so a spiral is obviously not a circle, but this is still a very good photo with great composition
