The angle on your face adds to the sense of a delicate balance between art and nature, strongly edging towards a classical profile but with that subtle tilt towards us which creates a delicate and alluring sense of intimacy and connection. It also gives stunning emphasis to your eyes. The reflective pose adds to your depth of character.
