I love the vibrant colors and choice of objects, but the background seems a little too distracting.

Shot meets the challenge. The lily pads give a nice sense of rhythm to the scene. Technically the shot needs some work. The flower is overexposed and almost completely without detail. Also it might be more pleasing were the subject (the flower) on a thirds intersection. In the lower left it would nicely anchor the shot.

ok now seeing it in the larger version, not just the thumbnail, i'm starting to like this one. it's not the typical beautiful-face-of-some-25-years-old-blonde, but a really well done portrait of an "average" woman, which tells a lot of her (your) personality. technically seen, the only thing that bothers me a bit is the hair beeing a bit dark on her backside. the b&w works really well and the background (though a bit tilted...) gives a good softy contrast to the rather harsh lighting on her face.
overall i think it's one of the best i've seen in this challenge and gets a 9 from me. good luck :)

i am not keen on this photo - the slotted blind behind you does little to compliment the portrait, and your pose looks rather uncomfortable, as thoug you didn't really want to be being photgraphed.

No I didn't spot the from and the lily seems a bit blown out.

Without the ball they can't finish the game.

Poor composition/focus.

Interesting choice of vertical blinds for the background and a striped top. I'd have like to see more light on the hair.

The selective desat works well to isolate the subject. The title is necessary to portray the message of the picture.
