Like those campfire images. Great focus and lighting. My temptation is to turn the light just a hair higher and to the right. As is, the image remains strong with well definable feautures and a very pleasing expression. Bumping up.
Returning for comment. Good capture of facial expression, lighting produces warm skin tones. Unfortunately, the image suffers from what I can only describe as "floating head syndrome." A bit more light thrown on the shoulders would have helped with that. Focal point appears to be dead center, although the positioning of the eyes in the top third is good. Overall, a good shot which leaves the viewer wondering what the subject is contemplating.
I like the shadow/light mix and the eyes can be clearly seen. Not so sure about the center composition. You seem to be looking at something and also maybe pondering and I think having more negative space on that side would strengthen that some. The skin tone is a little too red/warm for me also.
