The crop here feels cramped to me, and with the exception of a bit of reflection we really can't see any light in her eye. I'd also really like to be able to see a little more of her left eye. All in all this doesn't strike me as a very flattering photo.
oh, my. what an absolutely striking image. you nailed this one, and have caught something that will be appreciated for years. great work. most people don't realize the level of trust required to produce something like this. i hope this image gets the time necessary for it to be appreciated (like the little things, like the scar). good luck in the challenge!
I like the idea you've used here with the hair framing the face. Don't mind the overexposure on the right, but the girls facial expression is a little odd. Definately a good effort though.
Very pretty girl. I think you took the picture from too close. That makes the nose look too big. Would step back and zoom in for better perspective. Also would soften the nose and get rid of the bumps. Reall like the effect on the hair.
