Every time I see you studying you seem to have quite a headache. Might I suggest some brighter reading lights and a dose of your favorite caffeinated beverage?

Excellent, I love this and I even know who did this, somehow I always know which is your photo! The crop is very tight but it does it justice in this image. Let's see what you get for this one. And good luck with your exams in summer.....

Very nice image. The subject displays the concept of dispair very well. I also like the lighting and the view from where this image was taken. Good job.

framing is nice. colors are too. too bad a "student's despair" is one of the first idea that pops to mind. I'm deducting some points for lack of originality. Technically well done though. 5

Really good photo. The tone adds to the despair and well as the hands in the hair. The lighting is good....thirds used...nice !!!

This looks strangely familiar.

Good show of tension in the hands. Your focus is on the books leaving the head and hands a little soft. This coupled with the hard shadow across the book below make the shot very dark on the left side. Perhaps a softer fill light to lighting the shadows some but not completely would help. I know that exams are 'dark' and that you probably were going for that feel, I just can't help think that there is a little too much darkness. your composition is good, but with so many items in the picture I don't seem to have a central focal point. My eyes bounce all around the frame not focusing on any one item as the main theme. Hope this helps.
