When I read the challenge details this was the first idea that came to my mind... (Got sth to do with the age maybe...?) I'm probably not the only one so I guess there will be lots of other similar shots...
The model is a friend of mine, Ásthildur. You can find more photos of her on my website, www.steinar.is
Decreased exposure, increased contrast and cropped.

Flott mynd, vel tekin. Sígild uppstilling og flott módel, mér finnst vera aðeins of mikill litur í myndinni (rauður) eða kannski er það skjárinn hjá mér. En flott mynd
Steinar... A very fine portrait. For your youth you have great talent. Something tells me we will be seeing a lot of ribbons on your profile page as you continue to participate.
Stórglæsilegur árangur, fannst mér kannast við gelluna, gaf að sjálfsögðu topp einkunn og bjóst jafnvel við ribbon. Glæisleg mynd og ein af þeim sem passaði allra best við viðfangsefnið.
Sharp and well focused. Think the colorsaturation is just right and the brown eyes caches your eyes out of the monotonally colored image. One starts imagining whats of-screen and thats the purpose of this challenge, isnt it? Good capture of a beautiful model.
definitely conveys the spirit of the challenge...makes me want to see what isn;t in the frame...the colors and composition are right on...the crop is well done...and focus is crisp
Pretty shot. Nice color and composition. Lighting could be a bit more subtle. Hard to tell if she is looking expectant or dreamy or just self examination in the title’s mirror.
