Very dramatic shot! The camera looking down, and subject looking up, in combination with the neutral expression makes this an enigmatic photo - one that can be interpreted in many ways. The sharpness adds intensity and realism. Good work. Hope it does well.

I think that this is a difficult angle to get right, but it works here very well Nice detail and, of course, wonderful eyes.

I notice you have warmed this up from the last time and it works for me. Still has the beautiful eyes WOW! In my favourites for sure.

Very interesting angle that takes this portrait out of the ordinary

Fantastic shot, very high in my favorites! This kind of photo is difficult to take with the Lumix cameras. I like that while you cleaned up some blemishes the eyes and the skin still look very textured and "real" - not airbrushed or fake. Might like to see it zoomed out a smidge more so that the eyelashes aren't cut off

Simply wonderful!

Impact! Quite an image - I didn't like it the first time I saw it and I still don't (it simply refuses to allow me to decide how I feel about it - it demands that I have no say in the matter one way or the other so I find that unsettling and uncomfortable) but I can't deny the photographic excellence on display. Top 5!
