beautiful composition
the shot fits the challenge
love the black and white; your lighting is really nice
difficult to find anything wrong with this one
I LOVE the diagonal composition - her face is a wonderful contoured landscape. The intimacy conveyed by the proximity is incredible. Light and shadow, happiness and sadness. It's all here.
Very different than all the others I've seen, and well done. The earing/nose earing is a bit distracting here; the focal point should be the tear, but my eyes are drawn to the jewelry. Perhaps the other side of the model would have been a better choice.
I like the black and white. I've given it some thought and not sure how the title applies...although I can interpret the photo itself to fit the challenge ok. I don't care for the lighting in this shot...particularly the shadow across the eye and top of the nose. The nose piercing also takes away impact for me. I like the idea, and the creative effort.
