Which came first, the title and the idea or the photo? Anyway, it is very evocative and the title fits well. The background could do with clean up around the chin but it is a nicley lit, well captured portrait.

Beautiful subject matter - I feel I can't quite see the detail clearly enough. Lighting is intriguing but I think it's a touch dark towards the top which, to me, makes the overall image a little unbalanced. I like it best when I make it a square by cropping off the top - that seems to pull the focus more towards that wonderful sweeping curve.
