Wow.. LOL.. I never expected to get 80%+ with a 5.4 in a million years.

Thank you to everyone that commented.. enjoyed reading most of them.

For those that commented that she didn't really look bored, well.. we just have differing opinions on what boredom really is. To me, frustration is very much a part of boredom.. it's a continuation of boredom much of the time. However, the "frustrated" look here was probably due to the fact that she was blowing her hair (a very, "I'm bored" thing to do), and looking up at it. Curse the dark background for hiding the hair more than I wanted. Don't have a light background for a situation like this though, so had to do what I could.

I think I also suffered from, "200 shots that looked almost exactly like this one" syndrome. LOL.. a lot of kids/people sitting with a "bored" look in this challenge. Way to be original me!

LOL

Anyway.. 43rd place. Fantastic. Sure beats 200+

Not a bored person, more like a person listening to a scolding.

angry maybe, but not bored. I would have cropped out the curtain on top.

Cute! The flying wisps of hair is a great idea. The lighting is lovely on your model, unfortunately, the background is distracting. A less vibrant material, less DOF, backlighting, something along those lines to help define the model's hair...
