I guess the harsh lighting and high contrast were effects you went after. THey do support the message of your photo well.

A beautiful model and a great background. I'm not much of a portrait pro, but I can offer some first-glance critique... her fingers on her left hand appear cut off at the knuckles and a vertical crop may focus the attention on the model more.

Not sure what you did in post-processing, but the hair and skin textures look very flat and unnatural. Nice pose though.

Clean clear portrait. Focal range appears nice. The white background is off-white so not blowing the image way. The one arm is a bit interesting, I would have liked to see part of the other arm or something. Less of course she has only one arm then that really wouldn't be possible, but Im assuming from the fold of the material there is one, just covered. it is nice, but just does not wow me.

Congrats on the ribbon - IMO the yellow is the best one to get too! ;)
