Really quite intriguing. The headlamp being so bright is distracting, yet not overwhelming. The really dark shadow under the nose is also distracting. Yet, for some reasons, the distractions actually add to this shot. I really don't know why. There's something a little creepy about this, but then it seems sweet. I don't like noise, but that actually also adds.
I think if this were mine, I would have tried to fix things, and it would have ended up not nearly as strong. -8-
First, I love that she has a bright lamp on her forehead -- it establishes her personality, intrepid and determined. With no background to speak of, only darkness, and minimalist clothing with but a dab of texture, her face is all that's there, and it absolutely commands appreciation and admiration. Creative, strong image.
