A great portrait that has many elements of old fashioned photography and many other elements of moderb photography. I find stunning the fact that there is such a nice visual balance though the face is kept in low light and darker hues. Remamrkable how you kept the shadows (that make a face recognizable) visible on such a low light! Also, the focus that goes softer and softer towards the edges of the photo, adds something very suggestive but without getting too kitschy!
Only the white stripe at the top is almost contradicting the concept of this one.
