Interesting portrait. It doesn't fit my usual understanding of portrait...it seems more journalistic, but that is very subjective (isn't it all?) so my score is not affected by that.

The model and the expression are compelling and captured well. The background, even though blurred, is still a bit distracting for me. I like seeing some of the people - it does set the model off a bit - but the composition as is has the backgroud crowd and the model competing too much for my attention I think.

Good colors and lighting. Good luck in the challenge!

a bit too much space to me. I would have cropped at the other boy on left.

Wrong contest, but right photo.... I love the use of DOF to individualize and group your subject. Nicely done.

the background is pretty distracting but at the same time it gives us a feeling thats she's lonely and different from the rest 7

My immediate reaction...she looks so lonely, I just wanted to give her a reassuring word or hug. I like the bright colors of her outfit and the blurred background.
