Why I like this image?
This image attracts my eyes because it's black and white. I see a glare in her eyes which makes them stand out. Weston captured the perfect frame for her face, almost covering every detail of her facial features. I not only see a glare in her eyes but I also see somewhat of a worried girl or whatever she might consider herself. Her lips are sort of pressed together making her look a bit anxious or disappointed. It's almost as if she doesn't agree with her face being photographed. Her face shows a lot of emotion.
