A nice shot but seems a bit tilted to the right, not sure why. Maybe if you had come at her more head on instead of from the angle you did? I like the backdrop, nice contrast to her white shirt and jeans but the lighting seems a bit dull overall. Too muted, leaving the shot looking dull overall. A 5
Lighting: Low light, low contrast. More light is needed, as well as a reflector or something to get rid of the shadows making bags under her eyes.
Pose: Very nice pose.
Background: Works well.
I like this as a candid shot. For "portrait" (especially if "studio") I think it would be stronger if cropped to just a head nad shoulders shot, with her lips at about the lower-right 1/3-line intersection.
Nicely posed/composed. Lighting is a tad bit flat (or maybe your levels). Could definatly benefit from catchlight in her eyes. Nice casual feel here. Are you getting negative feed back about the studio part of the challenge discription?

Nicely composed; would like a crop from the top to bring her into the frame more. Perhaps a levels adjustment or some slight dodging to highlight her a bit more? She seems a tad dark on my monitor. :o)
A nice expressive portrait. She looks a bit too sad, perhaps, while it seems you were going for wistful. I'm one of those who thinks of "studio" as an inside place--so it's not quite perfect for the challenge, in my opinion.
I like having a story behind the photo, even if I don't know what it is =). I think the lighting could be a bit better, but it does give it that forbodding/sad mood.
Beautiful and captivating model, I like her pose. I do wish the lighting was better so there was more seperation between her and the background wall. I feel the wall to her right, picture left is too dark.
Nice pose. Something about the lighting is not quite right...a little bit of levels adjustment would make it a lot better. I tried it on this photo...try moving the black levels slider to 200 and the gray slider to 1.15
A tighter crop? It feels out of balance with all that stone. The colors are so nice, as is the pose and the sad expression, I think it would be stunning with a much tighter crop.
