black and white reflection

This image is very visually pleasing because of the high contrast, the shadows, the highlights, and the color difference between the background and her face. 
There are different areas that contrast very well such as the pieces of her hair that sorta just frame her face and her cheek bones. The background blends into hair and its almost impossible to tell where the hair ends and the background starts. but her fcae is then very light and obviously that main focus in this image. It also doesn't just have a straight black and white contrast though. Her lips,eyes,and other facial features are different shades of grey and white which helps balance the image even more
