Comment by Ken:
I like the triptych and especially the lower photo. The upper left doesn't seem to quite fit in for me, perhaps it's because she's walking out of the frame and it seems a bit tight.

Reminds me of the lady in the PSP splash screen -- those blue blue eyes.

Comment by Ja-9:
that is one intense picture/look. Her eyes are beautiful but the thrust of the chin takes away from the picture for me. You have super clear focus and great color...it's the head position that I don't like.

Her eyes are surely piercing into the viewers eyes. They're so blue...

Comment by EL-ROI:
I'm not really in love with the composition. Using the portrait layout with all the negative space and horizontal subject cutting it in half does not really appeal to me. I think a diagonal rotation would have been much more interesting and appealing in this case. As far as the subject... lighting is ok. DoF is good as you can see the near and far range of focus. Good B&W conversion with a decent range of tones.

the blue eyes, imo, are too powerful
