Great juxtaposition of old/new living/static - nice muted tones. 8

Well....I actually like all the noise. It adds a gritty feel to the image. I think she sort of has a gritty look here. This is my favorite of the series.

Now this one I like. Lighting is a bit off but it has that album cover feel to it. I'll have to try one like this.

I think the lighting is too harsh. What you might try doing is putting a white sheet outside the window to diffuse the light some. When the lighting is too hard or harsh it makes your contrast too high and blows out the whites and blacks. In this case it's not the blacks you you're worried about but the blown whites.

Also the Image seems some what choppy or out of focus across her whole body. The closer you get to your subject the more out of focus the rest of her body becomes, If you want her all in focus I would back up as much as you can.

I'm sure that you already know a lot of this but hey STRANGER I'm just trying to help you win us some ribbons later. hehehe

liking the depth of field, how her hands are out of focus
and the gradient colour along the wall is good too.

I like how the light is falling over the top of her. Not sure if I care for part of the head being cropped even though its rather incidental to the pose and the mood of the scene.

Hopefully this is not another 'oh by the way she's 14' shot because she certainly appears to be worthy of the routerguy hottie stamp of approval.

Nice portrait. I think the background lets it down.
