    Do you have a closeup of her face, or at least something from the shoulders up? Because she is so much smaller than the frame, the room appears to be the subject, not her.

    thank you guys for the great comments.
    wanda, i do have a close up of the girl. but just for the record the 'subject' of this photo intend to be the girl in the environment around her. I've shoot this image during an assignment on the Saharawi refugees in the camps in western sahara.

    I love the room being the subject as well as the lady ... but some of the frame is very distracting. I love the image in this theme but feel it could be stronger with a closer crop. I am new to this site, so I am sorry if feedback is not what the comments are for. Take it as a compliment as I would not comment anything if it did not move me.

    I think the everything going on around her works. Her dress and the small amount of background color behind her draws your eye in like a bullseye
