This is great. I get a real sense of her; what she does and who she is. Well done!

Well done. Beautiful. Nothing to improve. I like the tie in with the furnature. If you didn't include that in the title, I would've thought it too distracting. Good Luck.

Well, this is pretty nifty! The composition is really good, and the background is also cool. That is one thing that I can never get just right, finding a place in my house to take a picture without using a solid background. You did a good job!

And I'm going to have to get me a pair of those polka dot tights to add to my collection, they're pretty cool!

Wonderful environmental portrait, perfect composition, color, lighting (almost, her left eye is red...) and detail. Nice pose and expression, I bet she's very creative and excellent at her job. Have been bumping you up to 9 yesterday, but MUST give you the full 10 now and add a fav.

I really like this photograph a lot; even though the subject is simple, it's completely appropriate and very well framed. I would go so far as to say as I think this picture felt the most "professional" to me in the lot, in as much as I could easily see it in a magazine or the like. The composition is very strong, the lighting is great, the focus is tack sharp, and the colors are all complimentary of each other. I feel like there are some other photographs in the challenge which have just a tad more originality to them, but on the technical level this one is really great. Good job.

the surrounding are kinda busy ... she gets lost in everything else to look at ... focus and clarity are great

This is pretty awesome!!! I love the setting in all those elegant rich tones. She looks great curles up in all that luxury.

I find this picture to busy... I can't focus my eye to the main subject... JMHO
