I really don't get much out of this photo. It just doesn't speak to me. Maybe that's my fault not yours. Cudos on trying the different angle from which you shot. That beats what most people do, shoot straight out or looking down. You have some creativity, that is obvious. I would suggest you choose a more interesting subject that would better display your creativity.

I don't know. I thought this subject was rather interesting. =/

Nice shot and good subject matter background is a little bright but I like it

An interesting shot. I like the framing, though I would have liked it better if the face were entirely in the focal plane. The background is a bit washed out and bright.

Stunning! The hues, lighting and angle are flawless! High marks for this wonderful capture!
