Much fun! Such a quirky portrait and the unusual viewpoint works well!

Wow, this is a bit of a disappointing result. This was, as my initial comments reflected, just about as close to prototypical stock material as anything in this challenge. It's the type of image that all sorts of corporate types / web designers could make use of. The background is a little distracting I suppose, but other than that I can't make out why this didn't score well into the sixes (especially considering the number of six + scores there were in this challenge). That's what you get for not shooting a landscape I guess :).

I liked this a lot and am quite surprised it didn't score higher.

I like several aspects of this photo very much, yet the photo doesn't quite work for me. I like this shot as an experiment. The frames are really interesting. The subject has a warm and glowing smile. The background is a pleasing complementary color and is nicely out of focus.

I'm afraid those painted nails belie the title, and so do the subject's 'all thumbs' use of the calculator and her engagement with the photographer. These first seem like problems with the title more than with the photo. But I think the weakness is that for the reasons we've mentioned we don't understand why such a pretty and evidently well adjusted young woman has all these frames stacked on her head.

Uh-uh. . . that is not a nerd-face. It's adorable, and that smile is way too heartwarming to be nerdy :) She looks like she's having a blast posing for this picture. I like the picture alot. I like your angle, your focus, and the concept. Good luck.

First one to make me laugh! Very cute.

love the multiple glasses but would have preferred to see the arms hanging straight down with no focus on them. I love the glasses all on their own. A great fun angle too.

great idea, three pairs is enough, 4 is over kill and upside down.
White blouse distracts, background could be tidier.
