I have an admitted 'chain-link' bias. Don't like it as rule but you made this work. Nice shot.

Nice. I like her being backlit and almost an afterthought. Great rich tones and I love all of the black.

This photo does meet the challenge, however, as a picture of a fence it is very boring, and as a picture of the building the fence in front of it wrecks it. It would be better to creatively photograph the fence instead of just sticking a fence into a photo just to meet the challenge. The emphasis in this photo is not at all the fence, instread it is the building. This is all just my opinion but I hope you understand what I am trying to say.

You've made us feel like we're left out... just what the idea of a fence does. Nice color and tonality.

Hello from the Critique club, my name is Jon Rowe, and i will be looking at your image this evening :)

Composition/Lighting : i really think the composition and the lighting of this are spot on. there's a great amount of contrast to hold the attention, and the eye travels quite pleasingly throughout the image, with the main focus brought on that cute face with the wore out look :D i feel your pain;) great job on the lighting composition. as a fellow college student, i could not possibly tell you how i agree with this image. only thing i was thinking was what someone else said about having more books open. this would show more frustration and stress, and could have further showed your problems. nonetheless, it's a great image, and very nice score. congrats on your new personal best :D

Challenge : it definitely fits the challenge quite well. being a college student is definitely full time, and this really shows the aggrevation you go through.

Conclusion : i love everything about this image. great lighting, great execution. everything is wonderful. congratulations on a job well done :D

Keep on shootin!

Good luck on your future challenges:)
-Jon Rowe
