“ The mischief is strong with this one ”

My partner would tell you how mischievous I am (so is my hair, it's got a life of its own and I love it) but lately I've also been feeling strong as I've taken up new challenges professionally and physically (I started callisthenics and I've been told it shows on my arms).

I like that you went B&W for this portrait. It strips all the insecurities, leaving behind just determination and active presence in the pose.

Really nice tonality and contrast. At first, the leaning forward bothered me but after reading the description, I get it and it communicates the power and confidence you are trying to convey. The only thing I don't like is the white shirt. Since your eye is drawn the the lightest part of the image and wants to anchor there and the shirt is by far the brightest thing in the image, my eye keeps wanting to go to your chest and then explore where I'd rather anchor on the face and be able to explore the nice skin tonality you captured, the hair texture, the arm curve leading back up to the face, etc. I'm not quite sure how you solve that in this image because you don't want to blow out those the nice skin. Other than that, there is a lot to like in the image.
