No expert, but I think a couple of things may have caused the sub-5 votes. First, the washout in the upper right 1/4 of the shot. Second, the shot lacks the ultra-crispness of focus on subject. Third, the feeling of distance from the subject - I feel like I'm looking at the scene, and not drawn into it. I didn't vote on your shot, but for me, it is very nice. I love the balance between the washout and wall - almost symmetrical. Very nice leading lines that wind up focusing your attention on her face.

Wow, I thought this would easily hit the top 10. Maybe the hightlights were too much, although I feel that it frames her nicely.. I don't understand the 31 sub 5 votes!

positively professional.

Great model and pose, but over-processed (see for example the glow around her legs)

Exposed for the shadows - I admire you technique. A beautiful photograph. Possibly closer to a fashion shot than a portrait IMHO.

I like the tension created by her position in relation to the wall. The leading line of the shadow takes you almost to her face. The colors work well as a pseudo monochrome. Great shot

a little oversharpened

Great detail in her hair and legs, but at the expense of the blown out wall behind her.

cool outfit, i like the shadows on her calves. the sunlit walls are a bit too bright for me

Like the almost "gritty" tones and harsh sunlight on the wall. Muscle definition and tension of the pose add dynamism to a tight area

Great pose and location. But the blown highlight is very distracting. The only way to avoid this would have been to expose for the highlight and fill in the shadows with a strobe or reflector.

Very cool location. This would have worked for the brown on brown challenge as well.

Interesting. The staging looks a bit like Joseph Nicéphore Niépce's "View from the Window at Le Gras" And, the Model is great and sort of blends into the environment. Was it your intention to blow out the white area?

I really loved this...it's very striking and beautifully shot.

maybe more of a "fashion" shot than a portrait, but I still like it. if the wall on the right can be brought in just a bit, might be worth a try. 7

This is a very creative portrait. I really like the processing and the composition. I'm bumping from a 7 to an 8

Like the idea, but it seems a bit overprocessed and the large white area is just too white...

the pose looks... out of place, doesn't fit the title or location. Looks forced / fake :( Looks like you hit the shadow/higlight tool pretty hard too. Lighting is challenging at best in this scene.

Love everything about this except the large blown out section of the photo on the right!
