This reminds me that beauty (or lack thereof) is only skin deep. When I look at an image like this I must remind myself that there is probably a marvelous soul inside! Great capture Duncan.

Nice detailed capture, sending quite a message to the reader.
But why cut of the hair? would be more impressive with the hair included. Just my 1cent view....
:p

@Anthony: thanks for the feedback. I shot this very much on the fly and there wasnt really much time to weigh up my options to be honest. I stopped cropping images a while back and tend to post what I composed at the scene so it certainly wasnt a post processing choice. But opinions are always welcome and much appreciated. Its what makes us grow after all. Thanks again for the thoughts.

Wow...her face says so much. I feel so sad looking at her.

I'm with Stu: this catches the viewer in spot where one is unsure whether to smile at her or dodge the spitball that she looks like she might be working up. Certainly time for some flowers and bunnies. However, it is quite an odd and fascinating portrait. Her face looks as though it's pressed up against a window - or perhaps just flattened from sleeping. I wish her well.
