My sister's portrait.
In fact, the shot was quite spontaneous.
Converted it to black an white, cropped a bit, played with levels, contrast and brightness, and added the border.

Eyes seem hollow, not sure where the lighting was.

Hmm... looks like you had a great model to work with, but the photo comes up short IMO in a few areas. Most of the values are pure black or white, with relatively few midtones, so it creates a harsh appearance on a model with a soft expression. The centered composition seems static and doesn't direct attention... most viewers will look at the face first and the follow the eyes immediately out of the photo. The graphics on the shirt don't help either. Imagine the same shot with a different shirt, softer lighting (like a big window on an overcast day), and cropped with more room off to the left. THAT would be a good score. As-is, it's about a 5 from me.

How would this look cropped a bit? I tried viewing this with the top cropped down & thought that was beneficial. What do you think?

This could have been a nice picture, but you either over-edited it, or used a bad compression method. What a waste of your pretty model. (5)

Distracting background. Was that your couch?

No expression
