    Jessi close-in [Pic Attached]

    I got this one a couple weeks back and I'm pretty happy with it. This was at my house under 2 lights. I made a big enlargement of it and I think it's pretty cool, but I'm wondering what other people think, specifically the darker side of her face. The main light was set up to her left side/slightly front, and the hair light was high and back right.
    Film is FP4, shutter was about 1/60, and the aperature was around 5.6. 50mm lens.
    Input is greatly appreciated!

    He would be much more effective with two eyes, since you have partially de-emphasized the most important part of the photo: the expression in his eyes.

    You should apply some of skills you apply to judging other people's work, to your own, then you would do much better portraiture.

    I think you did well with this but I would like to see the eye (just a little more) of the shadowed side of the face. The highlighted portion of her head balances well with the exposed portion of the side of her face. Overall, I'm feelin this
