I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.

Positives: I wish I could do work like this! My model work is a bit dull and over-polished compared to this. The colours of the reflections, her pose, the intense eyes, the slightly soft focus, the grain - they all exude confidence in your work. Great stuff.

Critical stuff: The framing / cropping on the left.... perhaps a bit more would be better, here, by nearly catching all of her, the slight clipping draws the eye away from where it belongs.

Overall: Superb work.

Your model is beautiful! Just love the composition -- the reflections really make this image for me -- creating a sense of separation between the model and the viewer. Almost creates the voyeuristic feel for the viewer, like we're looking in at something we shouldn't.
