Compositionally, I think the "awkward" crop works well with the drama and tension set up by your expression and "make up." I'm not sure that the light at the top of your head, where just a bit of your hair is silhouetted is truly effective. It is actually kind of distracting to me.
Technically, the exposure is right on and you have some good detail. Also, with the neck area being softer, it helps to give some depth to the shot.
Emotionally, this shot really tells a story, or at least leads the viewer to imagine one. The black and white, the smeared black on the face all work together to build tension and emotion.
Frankly, I am surprised at your score, and would have thought that it would score higher. Reading your comments, the size thing may have also affected you, but it wasn't that noticeable to me. It is not your typical, clean bw portrait, so that may have hurt you some, but you have an awesome shot here that you can be proud of.

| Back to comment: A creative idea for a portrait but the eyes look over processed. This is easily fixable. 6 |

| Fearsome :-) like the feeling of 'movement' in the composition and the high contrast treatment. Has a painterly feel to it. |

| I like the softness in parts of the photo and the intensity in other parts. Like her eyes. |

Unexpected view.. but nice, very nice idea.
Light: the overexposed parts on her skin are daring, but they fit the whole look of the person. So while i normally would say they have to go, here they are needed to create the very feel of the shot. I also like how you set up a bit of light behind her so we can see the hair jumping out. However i do miss this light for her hair on the right side of the shot.
Composition: offcenter, partly hidden from view (hair on the left) helps to create the feel as well.
Great choice of model, good idea and great execution of idea. vote=9 |
