Great mood and lighting. Beautiful soft exposure on her face, very clear. I would have preferred the bottom to be cropped; perhaps just below her right hand. The right leg doesn't have the same soft feel has her face and hair, especially where there are wrinkles at the knee bend. I'll be a bit surprised if this isn't top 10.

the models expression is perfect. I put this very high as one of my favorites.

A very good effect with a penetrating delivery.

Likely to be controversial but you can't argue that "light" is a major part of this photo. Very moody. Good job.

Good image: lots of mood and suspense. I like her eyes and the silhouettes of her hands on the light...good facial expression and fading of image into darkness very effective...8

I love the way you used the lamp as a prop, making it into an object to see into the future with. The light it casts on the girl's face and legs really creates a very mystical feeling. Also, the way the girl's hands are silhouetted makes the oracle's hands look bigger than the rest of her and creates a sense of power around her. Great use of light and shadow! Even the way the girl's eyes aren't looking down at the light, not looking at the camera, but looking, as if seeing something no one else is seeing, is excellent!
