 Taken in a pitch black room with the built in flash (eek) with some cloth wrapped round it to try and soften it somewhat.

*Post Challenge* I actually thought about pulling this because of the crap score but figured that i actually like the shot so i decided to leave it. I'm glad i did.

Apparently I didn't vote in this challenge (no red bar here to show my score). I really like what the softened external flash did to the texture of the sweater. Mostly I like just the one eye thing going on here. I'm not sure how to do it - you may have to ask her - but Xianart does really cool stuff with vignettes. Since you've got the start of some vignetting naturally, I think adding depth to that might be interesting. Glad you didn't pull it, too.

I love the composition and the background light; although there isn't enough subject to focus on.

I would have liked to see more of the subject's face

Very nice shot. I would prefer without the white shirt.

The ultra white shirt draws the eyes away from the face.
