... a dull girl? Don't think so, but it did give you a somewhat sinister grin! The lighting really highlights your skin tone and makeup. Well done.

I don't think Laura could be dull if she tried! ;)

No anonymity for you in this challenge, eh? You have kind of a wicked grin on your face in this pic. Is there something you know that we don't? If I were to nitpick, the way your hands are spread out does not really look like you've been typing. Ok, nitpicking session is over. I'll bet this is the longest comment you get the whole challenge. (I could just say "nice shot") I may come back and add to it later. Ta.

Added: Ok, I had a day to think about it and give you some more useful feedback. As I said before, I love the look on your face in this shot. Not sure what the look is saying though. Maybe it's a touch out of place and seems like more of a "come hither" look than an "I'm tired of working" look. I think what hurts it the most is the slightly uneven lighting. It seems a bit brighter toward the bottom of the frame. The wall or curtain in the back has some wrinkles that grab the eye. Overall, the shot seems a little dull on the color and maybe needs a little more pop added to it somehow. Not including your hair, of course. That's well saturated, as always. Maybe the image is cropped a little too tight at the bottom as well. Hope this was useful to you. Now go out and beat up on my entry.

This is a mischievous self portrait,IMHO if you had taken a side on shot using the same expression with your head turned towards the camera this would have improved the composition for this challenge.The quality of the photo is very good....8

Nice expression and lighting - Maybe just a tad too staged. Slow synch flash with loads of movement may have helped bring a bit of life to this.

I'd prefer some context for the subject.
