You can definately see her concentration in making the decision here. I think this shot is a perfect representation of the challenge and a great idea as well.
Focus is a bit soft. Both on the girl and on the chess pieces and board. Looks like the lighting might have been a bit dark, so that may be what is affecting the focus of the image.
The colors seem dull as well. The girl looks like she has beautiful bright red hair, but again, due to lighting, I don't think that the color comes out as well as it may in true life.
It looks like you may have used flash? You have purple effects on the pieces from lighting. Makes it look more cluttered than it really is and is quite distracting.
I'm not so sure I like the close vertical crop. I'm wondering if there were another option you could have tried. Was the background too cluttered? Maybe you could have taken the shot outside with someone holding a sheet between the sun and your subject. This would have given a nice even lighting.
There is a thick dark horizontal line running through the dead center of the photo. This divides the photo in an awkward way. Someone suggested shooting from a lower angle, I think that would be something to definately try.
Overall not technically perfect, but a great representation of the challenge.

| good at meeting the challenge, not so hot pic though. the composition balance, lighting need work. The crop seems too tall for this shot. Maybe take it at a lower angel and zoom in on the face with chess pieces in front. |

| I really like this shot. You can almost see the mind working on the options. I think it would have been nice to have the face illuminated a little more, but you've definitely captured the essence of the challenge. |
