Nice shot, but please "add more" to make it your own art (this is basically a very nice shot of Other People's Art, see site rules). Glare is a bit harsh on the far side of the face. Color and focus are very good. 7 Rob the Swash
Good use of negative space. Great subject. Great lighting. My only qualm is that you should have used a boarder colour that wouldn't have blended in with the subject.
Aw, shucks. I was disappointed to open up the thumbnail and discover this is a wood (or resin?) carving. I thought you had captured a real person with a great expression! Ah well, it's still a great picture. Nice and crisp. great lighting, perfect use of a black backdrop. Had this been the read deal like I thought, it would have been my pick of the week. Good luck.
