I came from shooting inside candle light shots to outside daylight and forgot to reduce my ISO, so this was shot at an abnormally high ISO for such a shot, which required me to use Neat Image to reduce the noise. Other than that, I just adjusted the levels some, Adjusted levels, cloned out a few facial blemishes, reduced to posting size, used unsharp mask to bring back the sharpness after the resize, and posted.

Good picture. My only critique is that it is hard to see the cherry that Julianna is about to eat. Maybe if she was turned a bit twords the camera to give the picture depth or it she was looking at the camera. Heh, just my amaturish 2 cents worth. ;)
Nice. Subtle. Background seems a little dark but provides nice contrast to the fair-skinned model. Perhaps overexposing 1 or 2 more stops would've brightened up the image nicely. I autoleveled your image and saw much greater contrast and potential to become brighter in post processing. I would've scored this much higher if the lighting was better. Also would've liked to see the tip of her elbow but that's subjective.
The only problem with this shot is that it's hard to tell what she's eating - it really blends into the background. But the rest of the shot is lit well and goes great for this challenge. Nice job!
