I like the sephia tone. It has good cropping. I would maybe add a little more contrast to the image. Not sure if this would fit for despair. Overall nice shot.

I think this is really pushing it for despair, BUT this is an absolutely wonderful pic. Outstanding angle, expression, and lighting. Nice and soft. Its a little sad, but no where near despair IMO. Good marks though for being a great shot.
