It is blank indeed. The framing doesn't do much, as there's not enough contrast in the picture to allow it any impact. Looks like you were going for an old Polaroid instant look.
Quite nicely done. Don't like the frame. I'm wondering if more contrast, or maybe a fetching up of the blacks in the midtones might make more of a graphic out of it. (I do think that would be the way to go). Still, it's basic editing and you've made a fist of it.
To me this image doesnt tell a story, you cant see the whole face or maybe there is too much shown. Hows about just having the eyes on there own or a dead centre crop so you can only see half the image you have here?
not sure i like the border,, seems to make it look like an old polaroid picture which isn't that appealing to me personally.. also feel the crop is a bit tight, eyes too high up the picture for me..
