Thanks for looking.

Bitter? I've only been doing this for a year and half. Honestly, I'm just working on lighting and hoping the pose works. Just trying to incrementally get better, not saying its special.

Just get off your high horse and skip the second cup of coffee.

Good composition and tonality, and I agree with Maurizio, a challenging expression which makes for an attractive image, bravo.  As for the rude  comment further up to which you replied, it is not unusual for people on the net to vent their own frustrations in this way. It reflects much more strongly on the person that the work examined.
