composition leads the viewer out of the frame, otherwise cool pic, nice lighting

I like the placement/background - it seems to tell a story! Nice lighting too.

Nice shot....despite a catchy title, don't really care for the phone

like the title but lots of voters may not get it - you must be at least 40 yrs!

Love the title! Well done!

Mmmh...the background is finally more distracting than adding a (not needed) story here.
The portrait itself is good - but the orange thing in lower left corner.

This is a beautiful shot of a beautiful young lady. Great window light. I would think about cropping it to a vertical show to loose the telephone. It is almost the first thing I noticed when looking at the image. Apart from that, it is superb.

Haha... Jenny? Is that you? Great title, and great image... nice touch with the DoF on the payphone. Not sure how many people will get it though - too bad.
Oh... and did I mention that your model is stunning? :O)

I think too much light from the left for all white out. Beautiful girl and model

Clever use of rule of thirds. Too bad her right eye and not her left is in focus... that or you have a little camera shake

Very well done. Love the crop and don't let anyone tell you different! Fantastic balance. 10

Nice pose & light, but the background sucks and takes away the attention from her.

Ah the plague of basic editing and the inability to clone. I'm sure you noticed the red thing in the bottom left when you got home and couldn't crop as it was to close to her face. However, I would have still cropped it really close and made it a tight headshot for this challenge just to remove that distraction.
Overall though I really like the composition. I know you will probably get slammed for the dead space to the right but I do it all the time! Honestly I think it adds to a photo to see a little of the enviroment... it looks more movie-ish. Also the lighting its very soft (looks like a big window?) and complements her well. Good job!
