My first attempt to setup the home studio. I used what ever was available for lighting and back drop. Lighting was done by standard corner table lamp and blanket was used as a back drop. The model is my daughter - Pooja. I really appreciate her patience and cooperation. It took more than one hour to setup the studio and more than half an hour to take her pictures.

So...how exactly does shutter speed affect your photograph? It seems you just took a (good) portrait shot, and felt you'd post and see what happens. Next time, try to abide by the guidelines of the challenge for which you are submitting.
Since I can't see any hint of a flash, I'm going to assume this was taken at a slow shutter speed. Below 50 perhaps. Colors are nice. Right side of face may be a tad blurry.
Beautiful. I think I'd remove the necklace - it detracts from her face, particularly with all of the busy aspect of her dress. Great skin tones and wonderful sharp focus.
While this is a great portrait, I don't see how it meets the challenge of shutter speed as a major component of the shot. I would rank it much higher in a different competition.
