Extremely well executed. The tight crop is the perfect choice. My top pick for the challenge.

Not too keen on the soft halo around her top but otherwise a lovely portrait, she looks like a nice person, it made me smile.

Yes, some people have taken the challenge title "Doors, Gates, Knobs, Locks & Handles", gone away and taken a photo of one of those things, others understood brief of capturing the beautiful details in those everyday things. Some people, like the artist behind this photo, did the right thing. This is art, it tells a story, good vs evil. It's beautiful and it fulfils the challenge title and brief. What more can I say than, fantastic lighting, composition, detail, brilliant choice for depth of field. Very pleasing to the eye.
