This isn't a particularly flattering portrait, but I think it's possible that's what you had in mind?

She looks sad, and maybe a little desperate? I can't tell if it's just the way she looks, or if she's acting, or if this is her first time modeling. Partly she just has kind of heavy-lidded eyes.

The light is not being kind to her, it seems to be pretty much from directly in front of her. It's not on-camera flash, is it? Anyways, there's not much modelling going on, her features look flat because of the lack of shadows. Her skin and hair look a little beaten up, and the light's not doing them any favors.

If this is all deliberate, well, bravo! It's got some *power* for sure, but it's not *pretty* if you get my meaning?

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for sharing your opinion.  I liked your last sentence best!  :o)  No, if you'll look in the details, on camera flash was not fired.  Actually, this is pretty much the look we were after on this one, for which you already used some good adjectives.
