I really like the tones, play of shadow and light, as well as, the angle of view. And such soulful eyes! Could definitely see this in National Geographic. Beautiful ! 10

Great tones, I'll bet this will end up high, at least in top 10. I'm sure that some others have mentioned the out-of-focus hand, it would have been much better if it wouldn't be in the frame and as it is in the frame, then I think the photo would improve if you would have cropped it differently so the hand wouldn't be seen at all. I really like the lighting conditions and the shadows over the face. Best of luck.

compelling, slightly journalistic, slightly out of focus. very well done with a superb background, great detail and a nice level of contrast.

Comment by Rasai:
This is a thought provoking image, for me the potential in this scene was treamendious. The expression on the face and in the eyes is greatI The posture of the head conveys even more emotion. I believe that were the arm and hand not in the picture it would have appealed to me more... its so hard to make a comment like that for me as many times those just are not what happens when you capture an image. I hope you do well with this.

Very expressive. I don't think you'd lose anything by cropping out the blurry hand.
