Alright, she is not meant to look happy. And I like the lens fire...

I like her and would rather have had her isolated without the traffic in the back. Lens flare is also evident and I'd pull back the Cyan just a touch. Other technicals are good and the concept is pleasingly marketable. Good luck!

great shot, love the face

happy? are u sure?
01/18/2009 02:04:14 PM
No doubt - she looks like she's about to burst! Nice job with a back lit subject...
01/18/2009 09:54:52 AM
The flair above her head (and on it) is distracting...and Happy is a stretch of the word...

Happy?, how can a woman be happy with that lens flare on top of her head?
01/16/2009 06:45:17 PM
She doesn't look happy. But hey, she IS a business woman!

I presume the title is ironic? Might work well as a stock photo - conveys a certain mood/idea.

distracted, impatient, cold maybe
but not happy, sorry (5)

good shot I think the title is off she does not look happy.
01/15/2009 08:32:46 PM
cool idea.... but she doesn't see so happy =) and there is a big lens flare in her face...
01/15/2009 03:35:52 PM
I don't think she likes you...
01/15/2009 07:50:50 AM
A flare over her head? Or a halo? Otherwise it would have been a good photo.

I like this setup. The lens flare is a bit much for me, personally. And the look on the models face, as well as general body language suggest something to me other than the business world. I get the impression she has things on her mind. She doesn't look happy at all to me. Maybe posing her on a cell, or with a newspaper, or something might have changed her mood a bit. But it's a thoughtful image, IMO.

Nice lines in the bench, interesting model position. However, this is more artistic than "stock", especially with the flare.
01/14/2009 04:35:38 PM
With the words included, it might not be as "Stock" as it could be... also could use some contrast and sharpening... but it's well composed.

I don't think the background helps this picture, and the lens flare does not appeal to my eye either. If this is a candid I can understand the background, but if this is a posed shot keep an eye on what might detract the viewers eye from your main subject.

I really like the blue tones in this photo, as well as the warmth coming from her skin tone and the flair above her head.
01/14/2009 08:09:40 AM
great model and pose but I think ideally, Stock Images should have a less distracting background - good luck
01/14/2009 03:23:56 AM
I'd hate to see the "Depressed Business Woman" ;-) The overall feel of this image floats between the sterile stock photo environment and a street candid to me.
01/14/2009 01:25:37 AM
This could have been stronger if she was doing anything remotely resembling some kind of business-related activity - checking her PDA, talking on the phone etc. This is charm-based, and it has limited attraction power... I also hate that flare above her head...
