I thought this picture was compelling. She is looking away and it doesn't look contrived. I like the contrast and the hair in the eyes. The picture is nicely edited.
I have sent very similar photo in to a challenge. I realy like your photo but is it self-portrait or is it some model you got for the job? This is mine:
I noticed your shot when you submitted it. I like! She was a model, but not hired. We traded some shots for me for some prints for her.

I really like this shot for some reason. I am not one who goes for studio shots much - but this was executed well. The model looks natural - not as if she has a forced look on her face. I think the composition and cropping is what really makes this shot. If this is a self portrait it was executed wonderfully! Definitely meets the challenge.
I really like this picture. I would like it better if it were cropped about a 1/2 inch under the nose... but I like strangely cropped styles...I think the lips pull the image down and with my suggested crop it has more of an impact.
