This photo was taken of my daughter for the "DRAMA" challenge. I ended up submitting another photograph which turned out fairly well...but, I was torn between the two of them. But, it also seems as though she is pondering about something very intensly...thats how I ended up with the title. I love this photograph.

I think the tones in this portrait are excellent. The light on the far side of the face away from the camera is a little strong and flattens things a little. ISO seems a little high at 1600...surely 400 or even 200 would have been adequate. Good use of leading lines with her eyes.
Background is a little blah, but if there were something interesting to look at, the eye would have been drawn away from her. I like the perspective and expression.
Overall, an unconventional portrait of a girl thinking, but it works well. Good work!
Nice portrait , ther perspective , the pose & the model are all excellent but the left portion of the highlights on the face just a little too harsh, 7
it really changes the picture when the eyes are on you (looking at you), it engages you as an outsider and draws you in, makes your part of the moment...you have good clear focus, a little heavier hand with the USM to bring out some of the details of the mouth and eyes...just my opinion...
Looking at her I don't get the feeling she is being torn. She's just looking at something, no expression. Very competent portrait, awesome work on the skin.
