The lighting of the face is really good, it's soft and gives the right amount of contrast, not all portraits in Srautas are as good in this respect. The look is also very present, which gives a depth to the picture, this combined with the dark framing with dark hair, dark hat and and a soft background brings the face forward nicely. The one thing here that disturbs a bit is the knee with blue jeans seemingly coming out of nowhere, but this is a minor detail, just something to think about in the future. If the jeans were darker, they would not draw as much attention. Keep making photos.
