Shadow and Digital Photography

I really like this photograph because of the shadows. I love the pattern and repetition the shadows make on her face. I also really like how it focuses into her eye. This also causes movement and draws my eyes to her eye through the shadows. It also moves my eyes from her eye outwards as well. I also really like the use of lighting. I love how dark the background is and then how light the lighting on the woman is. It provides contrast and helps focus on the subject. It is also cool because the shadows almost seem to emerge from the background because of how dark they are. This gives a sense of depth to the image in my opinion.
