I must confess I really don't understand this photo. It's technically superb. The low key and slight color cast, with a shadow across one eye give it a rather sinister feeling. It's the opposite of your typical glamour shot, and not what normally comes to mind with the subject "pride". I guess it portrays the "deadly" side of pride, although it took me awhile to figure that out. But certainly a photo that makes one think.
I find the bright spot below her eyebrow distracting, and the one on her nose just mildly so. Given the overall fine control over the photo, I have to assume that this is intentional, but I don't understand its purpose.
Overall, a very well done photo. Not one to get a great score in DPChallenge since it takes too much time to understand it. But rewarding to anyone who takes that time.
