Not crazy about this portrait, the soft focus bothers me. If I could've re-shot it, I would have. But just on the slight chance that I might make it through the first round of the LOD2 (ain't going to happen) I thought I should enter something.
So here is my sons Preschool teacher. :-)

This is a nice picture. I'd be careful of how you place you subject. Maybe moving so her head isn't in front of the corner of the wall. THere is also a bit too much NI or Gaussian Blur on her for me. She's got a great smile!
ah- those little chairs you have to sit on!!! :0P I might have burned or somehow darkened the background a bit- the white wall takes the attention away from her face which is darker in tone. The light colors always steal the wandering eyes away!
I would like to see some kids in the photo also, like thekids that she is reading for. It is litle out of focus or maybe just you have shacky hands. Could have used "sharpen" in photoshop to fix it.
