The obscure background and angle, as well as the small size, cut this image's score in my eyes.

Comment by bassbone:
i wish there was a bit more connection to her - she seems so closed and detached from us

Comment by giantmike:
Nice idea for a portrait. I like the B&W for this photo, and the feeling of contemplation. I do feel that the crop is a bit too tight on this one.

Comment by disassociation:
i really dont think the b&w works in this case - it is very gray and washed out. the cropping is also awkward, where you lose the front of her chair, and the composition is very busy. I also feel no connection to the subject - she is blending in with all the gray tones and you can actually see enough of her... i would have liked some "face" or some eye contact.

Comment by aliqui:
There's no richness to the colors. The light is harsh, and the whites are blown out.

imho the flower is a little too much in focus; and the petal on the top is blown out
