Nice interpretation of the theme. For me the image is a little OOF with the wall seeming to be in focus as the detail of the stucco finish is crisp. The lighting is a bit harsh / overexposed, except on her face which is underexposed. I'd like to see her with light on her eyes. I'd also be careful as you're precariously close to shooting right up her shorts. The choice of corners is also a bit bland which is fine except the molding draws the eyes down rather than into the grils face. I think you have a concept that can be great if you can reshoot it again. I would try and get her eyes and mouth to be the focus though when you work the DOF and lighting.

Thank you....that is exactly what I need!!

I can totally reshoot this as she is always getting into trouble

This shot has a lot of emotion and I like it, but the corner thing isn't obvious to me. I think if you did a wide angle version where you can see a lot of the room, but still has her as the clear focus of interest, the idea of 'corner' would be more obvious. This is not a critique of the photo at all, just of its relevance to this challenge.

I get what you are saying and I think that is an awesome idea! I will be trying this out today!

Thanks again,

Wow, this is a beautiful shot. I love the soft colour, the slight focus interpretation, the downturned eyes...this is the kind of shot that speaks to me. It's different which is, of course, refreshing but it's more than that. I think the colour for me is the best attribute.

Thank you so much!!
I wasn't sure if it looked too photoshop'ed, but I do like it!

My daughter can give a genuine expression of any, if you tell her what you are looking for! Believe it or not...this was about a minute after she came home and told me she got an A on a math test!!

My furture actress for sure!!
