Nice story-telling portrait. The model and garb both provide excellent interest. 9.

Excellent light and excellent moment to hit the shutter. I'd rather that the focus were on the eyes instead of the nose but that's just nitpicking. What I have a real issue with is the framing. That's to say that even though I appreciate the sense of intimacy provided by such tight framing on the face, personally I'd like to see a more "environmental" approach so as to place the person and the photo's message/story in a [wider] context. I assume, judging by the clothing -particularly the headgear-, that he's an Afghan man, and I really think that showing more of his environment, or at least showing a bit more of him, would have strengthen even further what is already quite a powerful photograph in its own right.

Comment by SaraR:
The perspective and centered composition works well, in that it highlights Fouzia's contorted body.

WOW - I'd hate to see what you are putting in free study. That is outstanding. The composition, focus and the misty colors. Just gorgeous.
