Very little editing other than crop and desaturation.
Nothing exciting, I know, but stock photos rarely are.

I realize you wouldn't use this image for your own ad, but you could conceivably use it to say: "Deal with US, and this won't happen to you!!"

For all the raving that it gets, the 50 f/1.8's bokeh just kills me every damn time.

Still a nice concept that I expected to do better.

Busy indeed... :)

I love the concept, but I'm only ok with the image, it's nothing bad really at all, the only aspect I can really pick on is the choppy feeling bokeh, it's more that there's just nothing that really grabs me in this image. 6..

A little too cluttered and too much out of focus. I get that's what you were trying to do but the headset doesn't make an interesting enough point of focus to make the shot.

I'm not sure I like the brand on the headset showing and I wish the nail filing in the background was just a little bit sharper, but this is still one of my favourites in this challenge... nice work.

Nice concept. The headset just doesn't seem as clear as I'd expect. But that's probably because you weren't trying to accomplish that.... Good luck.

Nice clean image. I like that your image conveys a story as well. ;-)

I like the DOF

My eye is first drawn to the ring on the hand, and then to the watch on the wrist. Both are comparatively light, shiny-looking objects, so they are distracting me from the headset. Then the pencil and coffee cup catch my eye. In other words, I kept wanting to explore all the background elements in the photo rather than the foreground element. Too many things going on. The headset, however, is well exposed and I like the DOF on it.

Seems like she should be playing with a cell phone or playing cards or something more obvious. It's a little hard to tell what she's doing.

Relly like this idea and the way you have carried it out.

Nice concept, took me a little while to make out the nail filing, perhaps hands closer to the headset for the Nascar voters?

Ha, after reading the title, I totally thought she had some....illegal substance.... in her hands!
Not sure how well that would fly at a stock site :)

Clever, and nicely shot.

Not a stock shot, but a decent enough photo. A company would not want to advertise that the operators are too busy for calls.
