*Howdy from the Critique Club*
First of all I would like to tell you how much I like this image. There is so much line here as I look it over. Most people would not see it, so I am going to point it out to you and to others. One thing I wish the eye was open or even turn a bit towards the camera. This image brought a creative thought to me. If the high lighted area below the eye, was tear this would have showed great emotion and made a lot more powerful image. The emotion of being sad would have played more on the voters hearts and minds. Even if was stage or not.
I think you could have changed the lighting a bit though. Maybe the one beside you, moved it further back from you. I do like the way it is illuminating against the wall and use another to the front, to try to get rid off the shadow you talk about, in the elbow of the arm.
I did a few in things Photoshop to show what talking about. I did something that is not allowed in basic challenge. I did crop this image some to remove some of the bright hair area and move you off center a little bit. Cloned out the shadow and dodge the so called tear area.
The red lines show this downward look. To showed you if you would have had your eye open this would have been in the same direction as arm and chin. With the blue lines it shows all triangles and diagonals and all of these lines are repeating and complimentary to each other.
You can see these change here. Please let me know if you don't want my version of your image online, and I'll take it down. If you have question or comments, please feel free to PM anytime.
I really have enjoyed looking over your image. Stay creative and have a wonderful day.

| I like it, I think the inversion here works well ... ok, skin colour is strange, but it's a negative!! ... I hope it's doing well, at least better than mine ;-)... |
