Comment by emily212:
very nice. I like the contrast of this picture. I think one thing that is distracting is the eyelashes on the far side of her nose maybe clone them out.

Comment by posthumous:
this would get hurt in a challenge because the sharpest focus seems to be on his ear. but it works perfectly, there's a strange poignance to seeing his face slowly become less focused as we move from eye to nose. This same shallow DOF serves to accentuate a particular section of the window. I feel like my attention is being brought to the same part of the window that he is looking at, but of course he is looking through the window, not at it, so I have this strange, limited perspective on his experience... just like the viewer always does when he is looking at the subject of a photograph. Some photographers work very hard to make us forget that limitation, while other photographers force us to remember it. You are in the latter category with this photo, the category that I prefer. I don't like being lulled. I recommend as inspiration bucket, another example of the latter category, who reminds us of our limitations by playing with shadows, light and composition.
