The colours are a little wishy washy ... maybe some reducton in brightness or a tickle in contrast.

Colors look a bit washed out--could be sharper.

Definitely get a sense of how busy a teacher is, and the motion in the hands emphasizes that nicely.

Mothion blur on hands. Image doesn't really convey "this is a teacher" other than maybe the Peer visor.
