WOW! I'm blown away by your wonderful comments. You're a tough crowd to be with. The bar is set really high, so I am especially pleased with this result. Yes it is taken underwater with an overhead light, and a side light. Wow. 11 Thank you.

well done!

This is haunting. I think what makes it so compelling is the open eye, the eye contact. Like how you framed this. Like the muted colors/processing.
So... was this takenl underwater? One of the more interesting portraits.
