Interesting and certainly well defining, However, being that you are showing an exception, it would have been much better to have a close up between ears and eyes to give the viewer a better sense of balance. The image could have run from half the ear to the end of the brow. Do not be discouraged, you did accomplish the aim of the challenge and you have turned in a nice image. 6
Wow, if that's someone's defining feature, they must be a really shallow person. :-P Of course I'm mostly joking. Technically speaking, though, there are nice smooth skin tones and mostly even lighting.
