to listen to the music!

I really like the way this picture is composed. Chopping off the top of the head in portraits seems to be acceptable but it's something I can't get right. The musical notes on the scarf in the background (I assume it's a scarf) is great and blends well into the darkness behind.

Overall I really like this picture. Beautifully clear eyes, large and obviously the center of attention. The positioning of the hands helps to draw my eyes from the bottom of the picture right up to the eyes where they stay rather than wandering around trying to find the point of interest.

Great photo.
