Very moody in tone and pose. That catchlight adds pathos.

This is a lovely portrait. I like the soft focus and grainy feel of this image.

Great concept and light. The composition could have used more of the right of the frame. Something could be sharp (the hand or the paper, dont matter).

I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.

Positives: An unusual portrait, benefiting from great softness, colour handling and contrast profiling. Her expression is excellent and her eye contact makes the image.

Critical stuff: If I am honest, the man behind detracts from what would have been a great portrait - he appears disengaged and as a viewer I feel alienated as a result. The lettering on his T-Shirt is highly problematical - it upsets the consistency of the blocks of colour that help communicate the subtlety of the image.

Overall: Nearly great.

There's a dark moody feel to this - which may be what you intended. I wish it wasn't quite so soft, focus-wise. Good luck.
