Very telling. The rather flat hint of blue color is probably intentional and works perfectly for the somber situation. I like it.

I love the B&W presentation for your model's skin tones and hair really pop visually off of that stark white backdrop. Contrasts and tones are great with lots of detail to be seen. The lighting is wonderful because it picks up on her lovely skin tones in her arms and the portions of the face that are not hidden behind the hands. This photo has personality even though the subject's eyes which normally show alot of personality are hidden behind the hands. The mood is anything but playful. She hides herself behind the hands for she does not desire to be seen. We are invading her privacy by staring at her. I get the sense that she is a mostly private and introverted person just from the captured pose here in the photograph - and we are intruding on her private space. My only critique is that I think the top third of the photograph can be cropped out so that the square format keeps the attention tightly focused on your main subject. As it is here it is just empty space that does nothing to compliment or add to the composition.
