I love this shot. I particularly like how the black pants blend into the background. The facial expression and pose in general are great. I think the wide framing works well. Good work. 8

More contrast between the hair and the background would have helped a lot. 5

The shadow of the hand seems to detract from what is otherwise a good straightforward portrait. 5

Interesting, and at least it doesn't look the same as every other photo submitted, but I don't think the grainy look works. 5

It's so nice to see a more unique shot among all these portrait entries. The amount of negative space on the right side might be a little overkill, but I like that it's there in the first place. Cropping the mouth out produces a very intresting effect, because it forces the eyes to provide all the expression, which works well here. I'm not sure if I would have left the entire nose in or if I would have cropped it just a little bit higher, but that's something I think I'd have to tweak and see how it looked. Anyway, a great shot that I enjoyed very much. 8

It would be better without the shadow from the flash, and it would help if she were looking a bit more towards the camera. 5

It looks like there's a glare on the glasses, which blurs the eye. The black hair contrasts wonderfully with the background. I like the framing as well. Nice shot. 7
