The longer I looked at this photo of my friend behind a tree, I realized that her hair blended in to the tree branches, and that the branches looked like cracks in her face.

The different depths of focus in this shot really work to capture another dimension of the subject and connect the viewer to the intense gaze in her eyes. Nicely done!
This photo is compelling. I can see the cracks in her face, and the intensity plays nicely with the softness of the background.
