The detail of the hair really stands out against all the soft focus and blurred background.

Comment by Bear_Music:
Breaking all the rules, aren't ya? Nothing in the picture is sharp except a few strands of hair and the immediate curve of her shoulder, and the face is almost entirely hidden. The interesting thing is just how much we *can* make out about her despite the softness; that she is, for instance, of Asian extraction, that she *does* seem sad or at least introspective, and even, possibly, that she's normally somewhat of an extrovert, given the cut of her clothing.

Anyhow, I digress... It works very well, IMO, and you get a bump from the screening group from me.

I like the overall feel of this photo. I find her shoulder is a little distracting.
