Great idea, great lighting. Wish more of the eye would show, though.

Why the title? I feel the focus could have been sharper on the eyes. Also, the crop feels just a bit too tight...

Very nice skin :P. Just realized that the catchlights in the eyes are a little spread out. Also, I'm not liking the green color and how it goes with the gray of the background. Perhaps a darker shawl would work better? Also, I'm noticing (sorry so late :P) a pixelation/unsmoothness near (her) right lip...

Seems a bit OOF or is it just me? I'd also try a tighter crop from the top.

Innocence

Pretty model, and nice catchlights in her eyes! The lighting on the face is nice too! IMO, though, the expression is a little too intense to speak of innocence. I also wonder why the red shawl/scarf is used, since it does not add to the picture in any way except to give it a snapshotty look. I'd also have left more space on the top and less at the bottom, to focus more easily on the eyes.

Look of despair

There's definitely some intensity that's been captured here. The noise on the right isn't very appealing though, and given the dark mood of the picture, it might have been better with a darker background in place of the white on the right.

A nice picture of a very sweet girl. The light here is very warm, and her hair and cheeks are lit up. IMO, using a warmly colored background in this light rather than the neutral-cool green-gray would have enhanced this picture tremendously. Also the focus on the eyes could be a little sharper. I'd also try a tighter crop from the top and right.

I saw this during voting and thought it's very beautiful, but I would have never guessed it's yours. Glad to see it did so well.. I really like the processing on this one. Looks like something you would happily hang on a wall :). Congratulations!
