Just beautiful, a real piece of art work. I lofe the contrast between the pale skin and the dark iris. A childs face? Beautiful skin, very expressive, flawlessly photographed and meets the challenge in an interesting way. 10
Second tear picture I've seen, and second time I've had to decide if I think 'tears' are 'water'. Still debating.
The setup is fairly good, but the corner with the nostril is a little unattractive and also eye-pulling. It's somewhat on the bright side, and with the iris/pupil the only thing really dark that tends to pull the eye as well although that's not as bad as you can see the start of a tear there, though I'd rather something pulled the eye towards the falling one.
You git great detail in the eye - what a retina! The unforgiving sadness of your subject has been caught perfectly - wish it were a little less bright, a little more defined. But this isone of my favorites. 9
