She looked so serene reading her homework. Her covered ears further convey the silence.

Somber, but without negativity. I like it.

I really enjoyed this photo.. The colour compliments are perfect. The slight smile she has, the over all look on her face, like she is thinking of a fond memory. Great photo

I like the subject , but the backround hurts the photo. The strong diagonal where the baseboard meets the floor seems to shoot out of her head and creates a dynamic that is at odds with the quiet composure of the reader. While I like the tight crop, and belive that I know she is happily reading, if you don't show the book some people will wonder what she is looking at. A polarizing filter would have taken care of the glare off the floor that almost brings the floor color to flesh tone and makes her profile hard to read. Never the less you caught a lovely picture of quiet contentment, one the model will want in future years.

pleadsant, the quiet lighting is nice, for me the "juxtaposition" of the floorboards and the face is startling -and it detracts from the lovely profile quite a bit

Nice soft focus/lighting and thoughtful pose. Would like to see what model is actually doing off frame. Arm cropped off at wrist now makes hand look like an undiscernable flesh-colored chin support. Needs t more arm so viewer's mind can complete the mental picture puzzle. Background kinda distracts rather than helps, wood floor doesn't lend enough contrast to bring out shape of hand. Good potential, keep it up! :)

Of course, without the title you can't tell she's reading. Think I'd have include at least a bit of the book in the composition.

Very soft and subtle. The spot on the floor around the nose catches my attention.

Cute subject, but don't like the composition. The flloor in the picture detracts from your intent here.

Too bad for the floor in this shot.

very nice expression - would like to see the floor fuzzier (it looked at first like your subject was putting her chin on the floor)

Out of focus, not enough snap

Probably better if we saw what she was reading, nice photo.
