The light on the front of he face and shoulder is very nice, drawing the outlines. But in my view the transition from light to dark is too harsh for the shape of her face and then the light from the left is too strong again. Rather then a light (or reflector) from the left I think a slight reflection from the direction of the camera could have filled in some too strong shadows and emphasised the round shape of her cheeks and face.

Thank you for the comment Mariuca! Mea culpa! )). In my defense I can only say that I was not going for mystery here. It was an attempt on parody and stilization of old classical still lives like the one I linked here that were extremely detailed and 'technical".

I missed voting on this challenge.

I would love to leaf through the book even if I cannot read it. Such a beauty.
To me it lacks some air around it and it looks so very sharp, especially the detail of the velvet who mimics too much the detail of the worn cover. Could be my monitor though.
