The light here is fantastic. Excellent B&W interpretation.

There are a number of things I would do differently.

The light is short from this angle. The shadows get kinda lost.

Shoot from just above. This angle accentuates the jaw and makes it look (overly) large. Which is not flattering.

Shoot from the side opposite the part (in the hair). If you had done that here (by simply moving to your left) , the light would have been broad and much more interesting on her face.

It's a landscape shot and you have awesome bokeh. Add some negative space on the viewer's left.

IMO. But what do I know?

Thanks for the comments. It was a quick shot at a family dinner and I probably could have put a little more effort into it.

I agree with the "shoot from a little above" most of all. Good photo for a "snap" though.

Why so serious?

The color version was good enough to be a finalist out of about 1500 entries for a contest. The B/W version is better than the color.

Nice portrait! An angle shift above will make it even better just like what the rest is saying (lol). But a great one though.
