		| | The background is too washed out and bright it draws attention away from your subject and makes it look darker. Maybe shooting in a different time of day or different angle would help. |

		| | Bicycle in the back is kind of distracting, also your model has the handlebar stuck in her ear |

		| | The background is very washed out as a result of the sun coming in the window. Shooting at a different time of day might have been better. |

		| | I think the bike behind the chair is a little distracting from the main subject |

		| | I love this concept! It may have been improved a bit by simplifying the background - having something out the windows other than white light. |

		| | Yes, she looks peaceful and relaxed. I find the bicycle distracting, especially the handlebar growing out of her ear. |

		| | She doesn't look so at peace at all. It's difficult to pick up a message of peace from a smile so insignificant. |

		| | Hmmm...  Feels like a bit of a shoehorn. 
 It is a nice photo, but doesn't do much for me to be honest.  I find the bike to be a major distraction, and the subject is a bit too dark while the background is majorly blown out.  I apologize if this offends, but hopefully you take this as constructive criticism.

		| | if the subjects face was at a profile the lighting would have worked better for you |

		| | Nice pose.  I think it would be better without the bike.  The light through the windows is kind of harsh also. |

		| | Love the funky rainbow coloured bike in the background - adds  to the feeling of the photo. |

		| | I feel the light from the window is too overwhelming and the bicycle is distracting. If you had taken it in very low light it would have a greater feeling of peace. |
