Ignore all the negative comments. :) It's a lovely photo and captured just the way you wanted it. Her lips, skin tone and hint of hair on the right are done perfectly to my tastes.

Cropped to close. Hair on right ruins that side.

Nice picture, but I think the border hurts the image.

Great capture, maybe a little light on the right side of her face, just so it is not in complete darkness? Excellent though :)

I think this is too much in your face (pardon the pun). The subject seems so close as to be overwhelming, so that the moody & mysterious effect of your strong side lighting is diminished. It feels more like a shot of an eye and a nostril to me. Sorry. 5

What a beautiful subject. Great capture of her expression and great crop.

Seems a little too close. Maybe it would be more dramatic if you were to back up a little and show more of the forehead and the chin.

The border is too heavy for me.

Nice lighting on the left. I wish the transition from light to dark was more gradual instead of so abrupt.
