Mona Lisa and Jigsaw

For Active Assignment Weekly: June 16-23: Reflections

 

So whats up with this photo? It is either terrible or lovely. The glass table gives a double reflection which gives it a subtle strangeness, but the gentle smile and direct gaze kept making me come back to it.

 

Strong light on the side, but shaded for table. Oh, there is one other strange aspect to this, what is it?

 

Increased exposure and whites in LR, plus some spot corrections and noise reduction.
