 the picture has a serene feeling to it with a wonderful subject. However i feel it lacks a certain sharpness. The colors have a brown/yellow tint to them which clashes with the freshness of the subject. Also the chair has a really old feeling to it, which doesn't match too well with the subject. As has been mentioned, the white border is catching a lot (too much) of attention. While the subject is on a line within the rule of thirds, the cutoff of the knee distracts. A little more zoomed out could have worked better as it places her in a surrounding. A different chair (fitting with the subject), more upbeat lighting and sharpness would have made a top10 with such a nice subject imo.

		| | I love this portrait very very much. The ambience, the expression on her face, the simple clean lighting, the chair, the chair seems full of family history. |

		| | Well done with the soft lighting and processing. I wasn't sure about the big white border at first, but with the subject, it does work. |
