I think the one thing everyone can recognize in this photo is the color. The color is amazing. Especially nowadays, the color green takes on a new meaning, and thus can change a picture completely. To me this picture while seemingly set in an urban setting, is still teeming with nature and greenness. No doubt this woman’s eyes display a kind of solemnity, yet the color becomes something much more then what the eyes are doing. The color completely changes what the eyes might or might not be saying. I think it is easy to say, if this lady’s eyes were any other color, this picture would simply not work. They add such another dimension to the photograph. The whole greenness of the photo, as well as her eyes, really contributes well to a narrative style photo. Truly beautiful.

I think the two things that makes this image to complete is the repetition of a pattern and the eyes of the girl. the repetition gives the image its good composition while the eyes create the overall feeling. The eyes, compounded with the general green tone of the photo simply emphasizes further the emotions in this image. The emotions, like Patrick has already pointed out, display both solemnity and hopefulness at the same time due to the expression of her eyes.
