I like the general crop of this, though I think showing exactly half the face is a bit unbalanced. It may have felt more balanced and even if you had included just a touch more of the face. The negative space works well here, I think.
Technically, the bw is good, and it looks as if the exposure is pretty near right on. However, the focus is a touch off it would appear.
Also, I'm not sure what purpose the black thing serves. I almost think it would be better without it, but I am assuming you have a purpose for it.
Overall, a good shot and a good idea. Best to you in future challenges.
I love the choice to put it wicked off center. The light is fantastic as well; it looks like daylight, which adds to the greco roman feel of antiquity. I also dig the added kinkiness of the black strap in the mouth, a nice playfullness, but with an awesome blank expression.
I'm not sure what the black thing in the mouth is, but it's getting lost in the background thus confusing whatever it's purpose was. Good try with the composition...somehow, tho, it's just not grabbing me. The negative space kind of just thunks the viewers eye, and I'm not sure what you intended to convey with it.
intriguing shot - apparently straightforward and well taken but what is the 'ribbon ' that appears to be in her mouth - or is it across it like some vestigial gag ? or a binding? or a harness ? we just don't know - and so we speculate and wonder . . .
I'm on the fence on this one. I like the unique composition but overall it feels a little too dark for me. The strap in the mouth is also a little distracting but hey its still a nice shot!
