Comment by Purple_Girl:
I don't feel the title matches the photo very well personally; she doesn't look like she's looking to the future, she looks pained, lonely, borderline desperate maybe and like some hope she had has just been crushed....I'd have recommended a sadder title. That aside, her expression is wonderfully moving and the lighting really enhances it. It's a great shot.

Comment by Adamsw216:
The lighting is okay, but the composition is rather distracting, such as the stray hairs at the top that could be burned out.

Oh, her poor chin! The lighting is compelling, but the crop is too harsh for me.

Comment by dtremain:
Lighting gives an intensity to her look. A bit harsh on the forehead, nose, and lips.

I like the crop... perhaps just a tad bit more of her chin?

Not voting yet.
