I love reflection portrait type shots. I like the lighting in this shot, very pleasant. Not quite sure how you're trying to portray this shot though. Some suggestions if you're open to them: The pose looks/feels forced/unnatural with the position of the hands. Perhaps if the model had her hands under her cheek/chin on the mirror, it may have a more natural (unforced) feel. Your focus appears to be be on the top of her forehead (where her hair looks very focused) instead of on her eyes (eyes look just a little soft.) I think this image may have been stronger if you had focused on her eyes in the reflection since the eye contact is in the reflection. Just the thoughts and ramblings of a very amateur photographer. Best of luck on the challenge.

Interesting shot. The reflective material she̢۪s lying on has changed the image enough to appear as a different shot. Quite nice.

Very 30's feel with the dress/props and pose. Your processing further adds to the vintage feel. Good job on the challenge.

Beautiful, but where'd her hair go? And why? Hair's important, especially in a portrait and especially in a vintage contest.
