Really like how you capture her intense stare. The burning on the bottom is a bit too much. Perhaps just a little bit to darken the bottom, not as heavily darkened and more smoothly graduated from dark to light.
This shows a bravery, an uncensored vision, that is missing from the kitschy ribbon winners of DPC that use similar lighting effects. You are not afraid of the dark. And you are not afraid of making us afraid of it. This is not a face I will soon forget. And unlike advertising and pornography (the two most imitated genres at DPC), she is looking at me more than I am looking at her. 10
Right then, joke's on me as I now have to plough through 564 images and bump them all (yes, all of them) up. There'll be a third run through for fine tuning. It's day two three now and I'm running late, sorry.
The difference between this and other shots of people up close is there is something going on in her eyes...
and I think that makes all the difference in the world. Darkness at the bottom is wonderful..
Beautiful portrait. Probably one of the best I've seen. It looks both candid and posed, planned and unplanned, a moment captured just before or after something important. Excellent tones and rendering. 10
