Great idea, maybe a little bright behind the glasses. Good luck

Nice use for the technique. The delicate tablecloth/curtain contrasts well with the background. It allows me to create a story for the scene. My interpretation is that even here, in a neighborhood that isn't filled with million dollar homes, one can find the feeling of family, pride, gentleness. The fact that she is washing the curtain implies that this isn't just a temporary location for her. She seems to have a determined look on her face that gives even more substance to the story.
I think I would crop out the left side to get rid of the person standing back there and the brownish trailer. It's a good picture to look at and think about.

Oh, well - this worked for me and was one of my high scorers - a 9. I still adore this shot and hope you keep your vision.

Great lighting and use of color, but the cut-off foot and plumbing equipment is too distracting

Bad crop on the right leg. Not a very good composition. 4.

... of home repair? The setup, particularly with the tube gun in the foreground, feels really odd. Her position also feels a bit awkward, as if you've caught her about to sit down or she's posing strangely. I like the colots of the background, and the light is very nice.

So, is she doing the work? Great job on the lighting and in giving the woman almost an aura about her.

The caulk gun needs to go, or the tools need to be more integrated with the theme of picture.

This model looks uncomfortable and there is some kind of tool in the lower right frame that isn't necessary. Otherwise, an OK shot.

A little too much contrast and a distracting background take away from the great comp of this shot. Next time move or crop out the caulk gun.
