I agree with oscar118 that a simpler background would help the image have more impact. Right now it is too busy behind the subject and my eyes wander everywhere except on the subject.
Inreresting. That is my favorite image from that shoot so I used it as my phone background this week. I liked that I could crop it several ways and it seems to make the eyes of the viewer move move through the image. I will admit that it wasn't my favorite at first.
