Not convinced about the extreme shallow dof here - a misplaced trick from trendy portrait photography just adds a sense of confusion to my eye, and I really want to see every detail of the fantastic light and subject you have here. And wisdom? She looks more scared or worried to death, to me. It has a lot to say about age, this shot, were it not for those two elements.

Comment by leaf:
it bothers me that the chin is cropped off just tehre, and that it is such a direct front shot. The lighting seems to be perhaps a single sorce from the front, which creates often harsh lighting wth darkness around the eye's and mouth.. good start and idea, execution needs some work.

Comment by Beagleboy:
Intersting portrait, but the bottom part of the face needs to be lightened a bit. I know the emphasis is on the eyes, but the difference in light levels is a bit too much.

A wonderful choice of subject. I do wish the lower part of her face was not so dark, but it works as you have beautifully emphasized her eyes with this technique.
