very haute couture feeling to this, somehow. great use of your legs & i like the 'anonymous' aspect - even though WE know you're you LOL

the diagonal line created by the reflection adds to the 'highbrow' theme... I'm lovin it!

Hey! I thought I was the only one that is "hiding" during these self-portraits! Good composition. I like the way the darker curtain balances the off-center positioning of the subject (you).

My initial response was negative on this image... mostly because I could only see her eyes and the messyness in her hair in the web frame. 3 seconds later, it had grown on me quite a bit. The hair became natural and a complement to her youthful innocence. The fully bloomed rose counterpoints that both in significance and in color tone.

Honestly, I'd still have cropped this pic in to get rid of the bottom 1/6th and the top 1/5th. A rectangular crop with her mole on the bottom third, and her eyes on the top third would render this image significantly more stunning. Additional benefits would be the loss of some of the stronger pink tones, while retaining the gently rose tones in the BG. I hope I remember to come back to this one after the challenge. I can see why you picked it.

I'll give it a 9 for the 10 I see in it.
