| The pose is good, pretty natural looking. The two different skin tones between the hand and the face are a bit distracting. I see you didn't use studio flash here but I would have still tried to go for a much higher shutter speed to avoid the slight blur in the image. |

| The hand is brighter and has a different skin tone compared to the face. It therefore draws attention away from the face. |

| Shirt is more in focus than face. I feel the eyes should be in sharp focus. |
