Troy, if you crop off the white areas at the top and the right and sharpen her a bit, you'll be all set! She does look like she is studying something very hard. Also there is already an image in the gallery called "Concentration", if you leave the date on your title it will be fine. The voting booth will not recognize both images with the same title so try to be sure your title isn't exactly the same as someone else's. ~Sharon

That's a lot better Troy now we can see the picy:-) I think to add a bit more feel to the shot you could add some contrast & darkening. If you have a Brightness & Contrast tool in your PP program try plus 8 contrast & minus 8 brightness. It adds more mood to the shot for me. In B&W photography it normally looks best with good dark blacks & good clean whites with as many tones in between as poss. This shot has good backlighting a & good subject with a bit of extra PP you will have a fine shot mate:-) Well done.

Okay, I replaced the image. This is the first time using a new 30mm lens without flash. Your comments are appreciated.

No, Just cropped it from a very large image. I'll try to fix it. Thanks.

It looks full of Jpeg jaggies Troy, did you enlarge this from a small part of the picy? :-)
