It's a DREAM - the over exposure, I'd suggest, is there to give the image an ethereal feel - I think the idea/concept is apt to the challenge, if anything a stronger even contrastier image may have increased the effect.
I think the image has a great deal of potential... maybe try monotone? or just the slightest hint of colour?.. dunno, just kicking around some thoughts.

Try direcing the flash into the ceiling or a wall... or diffuse it with something white and big. This is way too overexposed.

Looks a little too overexposed for me. Also, I'd try shooting from a slightly different angle next time (maybe from higher up so that the eyes are a bigger part of the photo).

I wouldn't have left so much light it kind of washes them out. Just a little softness would have done. Otherwise great creativity.

over exposed

I'm sure that I'm not the first to comment on the over exposure. Try bumping your film speed to 400 or 800 and slowing the shutter speed down to let in more natural light so you can eliminate the flash.

I'm sure you've heard this many times already, but the harsh lighting and shadows from the on-camera flash really washes this out. Without the flash, using lamps, etc, would have made this much better. Good detail.

Too bright for my eyes--perhaps overexposed or maybe an attempt to create a certain atmosphere?

beautiful eyes... but heavily flashed, and is plain. if you could try to dull the flash, it would be better for the close ups

Seems bit over exposed to me...

Too much flash.

wow some serious flash overkill here,like the concept bu to blown out for my taste /4

Your flash is too close overexposing both faces. Try not being so close to the camera when using the flash.

Nice shot.

Way too much flash here.
