Great composition. Works on a cliche to create a novel expression. Great arrangement, good balance. Love it!

your lighting could have been more exciting. More dramatic side light instead of the light coming up from below

it's a nice photo but i would have taken off the bracelets. also the sword kind of gives me a feeling of self-justice => vengeance => NOT a virtue. i like the fact that you used a white sheet it makes it pure, but i think the tassles are a bit heavy, though i guess you work with what you have eh? altough i DO like that they are at equal lengths => balance. but yea the sword i dont think it works. i think you could have used the balance from peete's "perfectly balanced" photo and have her hold it towards the camera or something but all while being straight and forward as she is now, in this pose. i like the fact that you added the white piece for "justice is blind" it delicate yet enough to make the point. i like the hair, adds purity like the white sheet.
the sword is really what bothers me.
nevertheless i do predict youll score nicely seeing as the other photos arent that great and arent that original either. even though theres the sword here, the composition is very good.

Same shot I was trying to do...it's a little hard to see justice without the scales.

an excellent job in creating a crisp shot that has wonderful color and the black background is perfect - a tiny quibble might be that her blindfold cover her eyebrow
