Wow, what a great tease. And I mean that in a good way. Really makes me want to see the rest.

Great portrait!

i don't know anything about portraiture, so i'm using your image as a guinnea pig as to what i think i would or wouldn't do in this situation, as well as what i notice and get out of your image.

i'm beginning to see portraiture as the quest to capture the essence of someone. in that, i believe you have succeeded, if but just a bit too much. there is not a single thing i would do differently, if this is what you wanted to do. and, along those lines, i think the strength of your light is perfect, as is the negative space in the top right. good work, and good luck!

Returning for comment. The light in the lower right corner overpowers the rest of the image and isn't as visually appealing as you might have intended. Perhaps cropping out the light and brightening up the remainder would have helped. Good pose.

I don´t doubt it can be a good idea, but lighting is very poor. I think you´ll be placed low for this reason. Good luck.
