Is this in ND? If it is my mother probably attended a school very much like this...a few years later (only 40) but things out there don't change much!!
The spots of light are a little distracting, but overall a pleaseing image. May have been better with a little more light on her face, not sure how much control you had over that, though. (PS perhaps?)
ha, ha, ha on her name. For me, when I crop out the file cabinet on the far right, I like your image better. It seems too new for the rest of the image.
Goodness what a fearsome looking woman! With a teacher like her I think I may have concentrated a touch more at school.
I presume this is a reconstructed living-village from the 19th Century. I do like the composition although the light spots are a little distracting. Very nice almost muted colours help emphasise the 'age' of the scene. I am both glad that you avoided going for sepia (which would have perhaps been a little too obvious) and at the same time intrigues as to what it would look like as a sepia shot
Good composition and I like the fact that whilst it is centred the fact that Miss Nutterman is sitting to one side and the books are stacked to the other means that it is asymettrical
