Good tonal range of b&w's and just the right amount of sharpening. Interesting composition. Well done!

Not really getting Ashamed out of this. I ignore titles when voting anyway.
Nice image, excellent tone. Is she wearing a wig, or is it "two-toned hair".

the lighting on her face looks a little flat, which I'm guessing comes from trying to minimize some blown highlights - especially on her forehead.

great pose, nice crop, good choice of orientation. the muslin background takes away from the candid feel of this...a solid or more natural background might add to the emotional impact - but that's just an opinion; doesn't affect my score.

I don't like portraits that hide one of the eyes (whether it's unintentional). She seems to have beautiful eyes, why hide it?
