nathan, your photoshop work tends to overpower your pictures. this is a good example of an interesting and subtle portrait that is not aided by the zoom-like effect overlaid onto it. you do a good job of catching complex, ambiguous expressions on young women's faces. i would prefer to see you work more on composition and concept (the idea behind the picture) than on manipulation. still and all, this is an interesting, engaging picture. i notice you use asa400 film: consider using a slower film to catch more detail, especially in the eyes. for portraits, i use ilford pan f (asa 50), which lets you see deeply into the eyes.
