Thank you all for your comments. I shot many images of museum observers with the intention of submitting to this challenge. When the woman in red walked by I tried to catch her before she walked away. She was observing a huge portrait and contemplating it for a moment and then other people came into the scene. Hence this was the only shot I got of her, alone with the "morgue" print.

ok so I see the reason for your comment towards my comment. I scored you a 6 btw. Incase you were wondering. I still am not sure what is going on there LOL but perhaps I should of stated my score as well.
nice find. I really like how her eyes are covered by her hair and her nose is just peeking out to mimic the photo. I like the red matching and her contemplative stance. But based on your frame, the feeling of the photo is extremely claustrophobic for me...so I actually don't enjoy looking at it...perhaps it was your intent to make the viewer uncomfortable. But I obviously find it intriguing to some degree, so nice work. I'm curious how other people receive this, as for me it is probably one of the more interesting examples of innocent bystander in the collection (not that i haven't seen my fill of odd juxtapositions at museums...don't feel bad...i'm guilty too ;) ), yet the cropping off of the photo and the odd angle is very un-dpc. best of luck in all your photo endeavors. -9
Nice! The colors are great, and I'm not even bothered by the tilted horizon because 1) she's vertical, and 2) it's an art studio so things are "different" there anyways :)
Comment only. Not voting.
Love the similarities of the woman and the artwork. Red shirt, red nail polish, red cloth. Obvious, skinny black jeans, skinny black frame simple subject matter. This is very appealing and very simple, yet...complicated. Love the tilt which just adds to the elements. Great eye to see this.
Neat image here. Love the red and red theme and the bright white of the walls. Something weird is going on where wall and floor meet. There seems to be a shadow up until you get to the front leg then there is just a line. Not sure if that was done in post or if it was like that. Normally with a pose like this I would want the subject looking into the frame and not out of it but for this challenge it leaves much to the imagination; Is she admiring a painting, a sculpture, an artist working or perhaps another person.
