Natural Lighting, and just crop on editing. The shot wasn't set-up but I just liked the way she was staring at me around the edge of the door.

Critique Club Review:

Focus and depth of field: Focus appears soft, as there doesn't appear to be any point in the frame that appears sharply in focus. ISO was boosted to 400 to get a reasonable shutter speed, but still came out on the dark side, and grainy. The edge of the door almost overwhelms the subject due to the size and lack of detail. Cropping the door thinner would have helped some. As is, only the photographers write-up really idicates this is a door, as opposed to a wall or other object.

Were this shot redone with a lighter exposure, and depth of field that isolated the background, I think it would do much better. I really like the composition, and the face of the subject really communicates with the viewer.

a bit too grainy, dark, and somewhat out of focus for me...

very noisy and grainy. the half face composition can be interesting but the right side has no interest would have been better to jsut crop it at the line on the face IMO.

Might be better if eye was sharper and not in the center of the frame.

a good shot, but more variation of tone would help it. if the flat planes on the left and right darkened as they approached the edges, that would draw the eye in more. and there is an issue with focus as well.
