I think the highlights on the cheeks are a bit bright, and I would have liked it better if you would not have cut off the forehead and the chin. But otherwise, good work.

I am no expert by any means, but I actually think the cropping is interesting. I don't have any advice. I'd probably agree that the cheeks look pretty washed out....but I still think it is a nice, shapre pic. Funny title. You did get me to look.

I like it, although I don't think you should have cut off your forehead and chin.... Otherwise, I like the composition and lighting.
