Comment by Photologist:
Looks too much like a snapshot. Low contrast, long DOF, and under exposed.

A really good idea for a photo, however the door is a little distracting and it would have been nicer to see an eye on the paper.

Good Idea, but pay attention to your wrinkled background ,it becomes the focus of the picture. The centered composition doesn't make it sing for me...I was thinking some better, more dramatic lighting wouldn't have hurt...

Several things on this picture, first I would put the back drop farther away from the subject to let it be able to be out of focus, some lighting on the rope and hands would have helped to bring out some detail in the rope and I would have set this up or cropped it so none of the head was in the picture.

More lighting or emphasis on the rope to bring out the details would have been a little better.

Too close to the background so all the wrinkles in the fabric show. Time not spent pulling the background fabric taut to remove the large fold on the right. White as a background for this was a poor choice. Top of head sticking up at the bottom of the photo doesn't work. Composition could have better played up the triangular shape made of arms and robe but here the arms are sort of haphazardly arranged and the shot is off balance. Finally, looks like this was shot with a flash or some really harsh straight-on light making for some nasty shadows.

wish the background was smooth and the top of the head was cropped out ...
