Cutsey shot. Not exactly snap-shot, but sort of candid. She is obviously having a really good time with this and it is a great public service announcement about the wonders of reading. I am just having a difficult time as seeing this as an environmental portrait. Art speaks differently to different people.

A great pose and the set up is perfect. Would like to have seen better focus in her face.

Doesn't really catch my eye too much, but if I could offer some (hopefully) constructive comments: 1) Book worms are generally really into what they're reading (while as this girl isn't). So I would have had the model actually reading the book. 2) Because of the bright orange and high contrast with the other books, the Chronicles of Narnia book is really distracting and takes away from the shot, in my opinion. 3) I think a wider, more rectangular crop would have changed the feel of the shot in a positive way.

bonus point for Captain Underpants!

Now here's a bookworm! The focus is a bit soft and lighting's not in your favour but she reminds me of me at her age, buried in the library, though back then we didn't have Captain Underpants! 7

I would have preferred less cropping on the bottom and more cropping on the top...4

very cute shot! however I think a shallower DOF would help this more as I'm finding my self distrated with reading the titles of the books i the BG

Absolutely beautiful little subject! The look of sly surprise on her face really makes the shot. A bit wider angle would have added to this shot.

Need to get the eyes tack sharp.

Nice concept and well executed. Although her eyes should be in the book not at the camera, but ill give you some slack.
