 I went for authenticity here. I got comments about harsh light/flash and bad crop -- that was intentional. I thought this was a hard challenge to figure out. How would I present a photo with bad technicals (except focus) and still make it worthwhile? The answer -- take the opportunity to voice a message.

Ignore the comments; mug shots aren't done in a photographic studio. I loved your message.

The light looks pretty harsh in this one. Some diffused side light would have softened up the shadows and given it more depth. The composition is off a little too IMO. I wouldn't have gone for a center weighted comp here, but if you do want it centered, be sure that you are not cutting of anything that is thematic to the shot. Peace is sort of the theme here, yet the peace gestures are cut off.

The focus and DOF look pretty good here. The colors and exposure are well done. Nothing is blown out.

Good idea. The direct harsh flash is inkeeping with a cop-shop shot but probably too much a distraction in this case.

The cropping is a bit tight and she seems to lack any real emotion
