I like the tone and feeling that you have achieved with this shot. However, I find that the crop at the bottom is a little distracting (mayby cropping in the deep shadow of the chin), as is the iris of her eyes not being sharp (I find the focus drawing me to the end of her nose and the bright reflection). Otherwise fab with her offset in the frame.

Enhorabuena por este gran trabajo Bradford. Pudiendo eliminar aspectos que pudieran distraer la atencion, (cabellos en rostro, barbilla blur,etc), sin embargo usted ha dado valor a lo que realmente intenta mostrar, los ojos de la chica. Creo que consigue el objetivo sobradamente. Felicidades. Saludos

I like this, its mysterious without being vague, distant or blurry. The light colors are perfect and her expression is caputured really well at this angle. Only possible change would be a slight crop of the left side. I think you could lose maybe 10% there and it might look a bit tighter. Overall, well done!

I agree with boyd, the eyes could be a bit sharper. The shadow of her chin is a bit distracting too, perhaps you should darken the lower part to match the shadow.
A beautiful and intimate portrait, nevertheless.

Eyes are a bit to blue surreal for me but nice frame.

Nice frame but I'm agree with everyone eyes should be more in focus...

Thanks everyone for your input. In doing the pp on this one I definitely lost some of the focus on the eyes. I'm going to start over and see if I can get a better result. I might post the new version under a different topic, si if you see it please let me know if you think there's an improvement.

was selective desaturation used for this image? Very powerful. Striking. You could have perhaps improved the catchlights in the eyes but I don't feel the image warrnats this. Still strong.

j'aime l'ambiance et le fait d'etre absorber par le regard.

Very nicely done - great eyes and great mouth are a great combination.

Cheers,
Jon

really intimate and striking portrait.i think it's really honest. not a typical expression too. The eye whites seem too.. white thou, was it photoshopped?

i agree with boyd the bottom part (shadow of chin) should be cropped.
