There is definite pain, suffering and sadness in this image. I can see the tears and the expression of pain in the eyes and the way the subject holds their mouth. To me it is palpable. The other thing I really think is a strength is that you only show us half the face - the message to me is that the subject is trying to hide their pain and suffering. Youth tries to hide what they are feeling inside - and I feel that this half face shows the true feeling of what is behind the mask. This is the half that is typically hidden; what we don't see. I almost feel like I walked into the room and interrupted/intruded on a private moment- that the main subject quickly looked up in surprise that someone walked in when they needed to cry it out. Nicely done. (not voting)

Nice crop. I like your use of narrow DOF with the eye and hair focused. Good use of light and shadow.

I don't know what it is about this image, but I really like it. I like that it's an incomplete story, leaving us to wonder what has reduced her to tears. The harsh light and desat really work well, as does the crop.

Nice crop and the wet eye is great. Good luck.
