The whole placement of this photograph came to me before I even had the camera in my hand. It seemed like a relatively related concept. The painting of the bird speaks morning to me and the desk lamp appears like a star. The girl looks like she's thinking hard but at 4 in the morning looks like she's also trying desperately trying to stay awake.

Yes, I'm seeing now how i should of turned the lamp a little more towards my face, initialy i thought the appearance of the lamp facing the camera was interesting, how it was blurred around the eges. But I see now the lighting does nothing for the lighting around me.
the color cast by this lighting really detracts. this would probably have more impact in bw. that light is also extremely annoying, and really takes away from being able to look at much of the rest of the image. i get the idea, but think it could still use some work.
A soothing and interesting picure. The subject as model appears more the late night thinker than the jaded voluptuary and this comes as a welcome change of pace from many of the choices of night owl characters. 9
It's a good shot, really, it is. I like how you cannot see her eyes, and I like how you show the light source. I was going to say that it looks a bit too much like an indie kid's myspace picture, but then I took it back. six? seven? one? eleven? who knows
