Great job here. The added grain really lends itself nicely to this shot. My favorite of your three portraits posted in the challenge. I like the tight crop and the gritty look. The model looks calm and relaxed but still keeping on eye on things.

With the shadows almost obscuring the pupils, her eyes look one moment watchful and the next as if transformed to another state of being. Powerful and multilayered image. Very nice work - I'm out of my league. -tv

For this edgy portrait, the grain is most appropriate. ~ Lonnit

What a wonderful portrait, Lee...the harsh lighting, composition, and attention to detail (heavy eye makeup, direction of the look, the smudge on her thumb, and the not-so-clean nails) all contribute to a powerful image.

Thanks for getting us started, Lee. I like this image. Sultry and brooding. The shift of her eyes is enigmatic. -- Bruce
