Not your typical portrait framing. A lot is left to imagine, I like that breaking-rule approach you have here. I'd really like it to see the exact same picture with the focus on the other eye (the far most in regards to the camera). Why? In my expericence, I find it always better to have something bring the viewers eyes to "the other side" of the face, but I could not exactly say why. Anyhow, I love this shot.

@Vincent Bertrand: Vincent, thank you for your comment. Portraits are definitely not my strength and I'd love to learn more, so appreciate your impressions very much. This one was one of my first experiments with my 50mm 1.4 lens but I sure didn't think of focusing on the other eye. I will try to keep that in mind next time I get a willing subject...
