I like the overall balance of this photo with no distractions to draw your eye from the subject. There are fine elements like the curve of the hair, the diagonal lines of the face and glasses. The reflection of hard and soft shadows which are made from the glasses are good. The light looks a little bright on the cheek, but the contrast of the total dark and very light makes the photo dramatic. Getting the hint of eye through the sun glasses makes this shot work. Nice job. #625371

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.

Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
