I was in a workshop at Drexel university. I was in a studio shooting with a canon 5D and a strobe flash. White background that is about 5 ft away from the subject. Adjusted the color for contrast

A fun portrait . I would probably crop tighter on your model. 2 things will then happen
You will get more detail on her beautiful face and you will eliminate some of the dead space above her head.
This is a strong image, nonetheless, Good lighting
I would have cropped a little closer (the hand makes her seem too self-conscious) and placed the bubble in the very center. You can get bigger bubbles if you don't use real bubble gum, but a balloon instead!
Nice pose and lighting 6 .. i don't think the extra background on the top is adding any interest to the picture, except that it makes this picture fit the challenge. IMO what would have worked better is a closer crop so that the bubblegum becomes the center of the frame .. i would have given it a 10 with that crop!
A fun shot. Not sure if all the negative space at the top is doing much for it, but that's probably a personal preference thing, as it was clearly intentional. Otherwise, I like this.
I'm not keen on the way you cropped the hand it almost makes it seem like it isn't her hand.
Also for my taste I would back off the red a bit but that's just personal opinion. 5
