Technically a nice shot..would be more inteesting if I got a sense of why, or how they were feeling..maybe having the person looking slightly off to the side..any sort of context to add interest. well done nonetheless.
Cool composition. I like how the eye is looking slightly up, towards the open space created in the upper right of the image. Meets the challenge. Good focus on the eye, good contrast. The border is the weakest part IMO. It's a little too wide maybe, and the grey line blends into the person's nose because it's the same shade of grey. Still a great image.
The image quality in this shot is fabulous. I love that I can see strands of hair. I also love the positioning of this shot...it just seems to capture something that I can't quite put my finger on....some kind of expectancy perhaps. Very enjoyable :-)
Sharp, focused, good DOF, and clean processing without distracting artifacts. Appears to be a rather simple profile shot but in this particular challenge, simplicity is a bonus.
