| Would be much better with the nose in focus. |

| What a lovely model, great expression, fantastic eyes and catchlights, and those freckles, well... Looking at the reflection on the nose I think perhaps you lost an opportunity to give it even more impact with sharp focus on the nose as well? Good luck |

| Even lighting on both sides of the face would have made this a good exposure. 7 |

I scored this image a 6 which to me means unsatisfactory but not a failure.
The problem is the nose is out-of-focus, and that is what you chose to leave colored so you draw even more attention to that defect. The expression you captured was perfect and fits the desat theme of the picture well and is otherwise a very nice composition. It does have weak greyscale tonality but that is not as glaring as the nose.
You may have just chosen the wrong central focal point. With the depth of field you already had you could have focused on the nose and still had the eyes and mouth in sharp focus. Another thing you could have done was to shoot at a higher f/number for greater depth of field. If you chose to have the nose out-of-focus purposely then that was the wrong decision. It will just look like a mistake to most viewers.
For improved greyscale tonality you could reduced contrast to bring back detail then increase just the black with "Selective Color" and still retained the BW impact of the image. |

| with the advanced editing option, i think i would have liked to see you take some of the window reflection down out of the eyes... but i really do like this shot otherwise. |
