I love how much character is in it.
The angle is an interesting choice, but I think it's efficient to make her look as though she had just done a long-day's work in the blistering sun.
And I love how it doesn't look as though you just threw some dirt on her face, and expected it to look like it's been there for days.
It actually looks as though it's had time to sink into the pores of her skin as she sweats, and slip into her wrinkles.
My only critique, is that I would have made the background a little less blurred, because it almost hurts my eyes to try to make it out.
But what do I know. xP
Other than that, fabulous - as always.

There's something so empowering about being a woman who can change her own motor oil...or motor for that matter. And you've captured that feeling flawlessly. It's like she's daring the world to question her craftsmanship. I especially love how her freckles still shine through all the grit and grime, it gives the image a sense of fun
I love this photo!
