Don't get too fancy with the crop. I should have laid out the silly "Headshot Ground Rules." Basically all they wanted was head and shoulders centered in the frame, in black and white, with a white background. Really fun huh?

Anyway, the crop isn't really important for this, since the trouble is in the areas you addressed as well. I do like that you croped out the American Eagle logo on the shirt. I see you went for the irises. I have a hell of a time with eyeballs. Nice job zapping the zits. The skin may be a little too smoothed out for my taste, but it's your interpretation, so it's still a nice job. Those bags were a nobrainer, too. Did you use the patch tool, or clone them?
