The lighting in this photo is what makes it great. As you look towards the outside of the photo, the light fades. Additionally, the eyes emulate a feeling of looking into your soul.
I love the eyes in this photo. It looks toward the point of the camera where there is more space, so it looks like she is looking toward something.
Because only one eye is showing in this photo, it makes you wonder about the other on. The subject's right eye is placed at an intersection to make it more of a focus for the viewer.
This picture emulates the head shots that Avedon took. He didn't take as many of the head shots, so it was more difficult to emulate him. The eyes feel like they are directly staring at you.
I like the naturalness of this photo. I was inspired by the picture Avedon took of Marilyn Monroe when she wasn't prepared. Though this is a different pose altogether, it seems very natural and not forced.
