Wow! This photo had me the moment I set eyes on it. It captures so many thoughts lurking behind those clear (yet serious) eyes! So thought-provoking you've made it so that the onlooker can't help but wonder what were you thinking of - or who were you looking at? Who's in for it? Maybe the pensiveness is just an illusion. Just what were you thinking? Or is this Atlier? Whatever provoked it, well done on capturing it for us all.
I really like the processing you've shosen ... the catchlights in your eyes are great ... like previous posters, I also want to know what you're thinking ...
Would have also been neat if the background were much lighter, or better yet, had a gradient effect radiating away from your face, either using post processing or lighting in the scene.
'Daughter of Rambo'? is that mud or blood or ??? your trying pull emotion/energy into the shot is a good idea... maybe try putting a more 'fierce' face would make this really stand out - good effort! (now, if you had a giant knife in your teeth...)
Well, whatever went wrong, this went right! Great clarity in your eyes. Pensive mood. Great use of negative space. And, the face paint hints at something we can only guess about. Good save!
