I was thinking melancholy as I scrolled down the picture. Quite poignant, expressive, and full of so much to relate to.

Shows a lot of emotion, the blur frames the face drawing into wondering,"what is she thinking , feeling"

You've made this appear as though it's a reflection in an old windowpane - the kind of pane that is so old the glass has begun to ever so slightly move (did you know that glass is essentially a liquid?).

A very pensive stare. Nice use of lighting and shadows. The overlay works very well for this, it definitely evokes a mood. Nicely done!

The overlay really does make it look like you are staring through glass. Nicely done.

Woohoo, you got your blur on and it's looking good! I love how you've placed the overlay to be aligned with yourself rather than the whole image, like I'm looking through a scratchy partial window of plexiglass or something. Love your positioning in the frame too, how the top of the couch and your arm make a nice frame with your face at the corner. Finally, I love how you use the natural light from the window here. You do indeed look rather melancholy, hope you're just acting for the camera :-)

She's obviously got something on her mind. I won't disturb her.

Nice blur and overlay.
