Hi Ellamay!

400 shots...wow, you definately did have a very patient subject.

You followed the rule of thirds nicely. The black on black composition is great and the subtle lighting is just enough to seperate the subject from the background on the right. They eyes really grab your attention when you first look at this. You have a nice sharp focus, allowing good detail on the eyes.

Possible improvements:
I think maybe just a little light from the top or top-right would have helped define the top of the head of your subject better.

Overall a nice photo that is pleasing to look at.

-Chris

it looks as if the face was copied and pasted

Was the red eye intentional or accidental. Very interesting shot.

Neat. But the two colors of the eyes bothered me. It was the attention getter rather than the girl peering out of the darkness.
