Dishabillophobia - The Fear of Undressing in Front of Someoneby

This definately fits the challenge to me. Without even knowing what the fear was, I could look at this photo and say that this woman was afraid to come out from behind the door because she's naked. To me, that is what this challenge was about. SHOWING the fear. Great job.
Focus and clarity appear good. I like the detail we can see in the woman's hair and face.
Lighting is alright. I wish almost that the man were a bit more brightly lit, but maybe since he's not suposed to be the main subject, that it's best to have him darker lit. Something it's hard to judge without seeing it for comparrison, but definately something to try.
The thing that I'm really drawn to in this shot is the lighting on her hand. I think it's really neat how it stands out from the dark side of the door, almost as if it's saying 'ok, I've made it out from behind the door', but that's it, nothing else makes it out from behind the door.
I wonder what this looked like in color. Black and white is ok, very nice tonal range, but it's just lacking 'something' to make it stand out. Not sure, but maybe color is just that 'something'.
Overall great idea for the challenge.
