Very, very beautiful! The black and white stripes go so well with the black bg. Very different image, indeed!

I really like this. Punchy, artistic and even with the really tight crop it's obvious what the subject is.The subtle lighting on the eye really helps. I might think about cropping the right just a hair as I think the black negative space kind of overpowers the black and white left side. Still, very powerful as presented. Love it.
