she looks a little overwhelmed, or perhaps entranced, or perhaps enlightened. I love the mystery.

Image has potential as it looks like she is reflecting on her life. I would have started by changing the angle to have introduce thirds (i.e. place her in the viewfinder on the left. The lighting is really poor and using natural light, you really need a tripod to slow down the shutter speed and get some more details. This will score low in this challenge. Sorry. Good Luck. 3.

i think the concept of this image. The love the way the light illuminates just her. The centered composition doesn't work for me, however.

The way this is presented seems to encapsulate the way I would think some older people feel - kinda trapped between the light and the dark. Nicely done.
