An outtake from the Benches Challenge .... my daughter at the Muscarelle Museum of Art on the campus of the College of William & Mary. I know this contest is going to be crazy tough, so I'll just be happy to score well (well = 6.5+ ?)

I like this one a lot (the color and lighting) but the fact that her shoulder is touching the edge of that frame is really distracting and could have been avoided by you moving just a half inch to the left
I have voted all the entries and done my first pass adjusting: at this point, this is one of two 10's I have awarded, though I expect there will be a few more. I think this is a wonderful, thoughtful image. I am particularly taken by the way you allowed her shoulder to eclipse the corner of the frame, creating a connection between viewer and viewed. Well done!
the sideways glance of the girl seems to be looking at the painting that is partially cropped but but I find it interesting how the woman in the larger portrait seems to be studying the girl more than the other way around
nicely done,vibrant colours, nicely sharpened , nice DOF which is in focus but the young lady is not so much in focus, and there is a tilt to the left, well done
