I really like this photo. It is the sort of image I have tried to make and, lacking both the model and talent, have never come close. With that advisory, I will go ahead and offer a few observations and comments.

I like the mirror arrangement giving us an interesting vantage point. I don't know about the low saturation of the photo. It is neither black&white nor color. I think fully desaturating the image might have helped it a bit; or leave it in color. (I took a look at the channels, and I believe the blue channel gives quite a nice contrast.) If you choose to leave it desaturated, I would have preferred it not have the blue color cast.

The model is lovely with a beautiful smile, but I do agree with the previous comment that if she were less engaged with the photographer, it would have made a better picture. An alternative to being more or less oblivious to the photographer, you might consider having her give a considerably more come hither look.

All in all, I find this a very engaging photo. I will look forward to more from you... and her.

I think this would be better if she were not smiling at the camera. By doing that, it makes the picture more of a snapshot than anything else. If you did everything exactly the same but had her looking off to left sort of absent-mindedly, then this would (I think) become more artistic. I hesitate to use the word "voyeuristic", but it would at least give a greater feeling of intimacy (I think that's the word I'm looking for) by appearing to show the viewer a private glimpse into the model's world. Whereas, by having her look at the camera with that smile, I just feel like I'm looking at some husband or boyfriend's snapshot of his wife intended for him. I mean I don't think she's smiling at all of us unknown viewers, I think she's smiling at YOU. Finally, photographically, the picture seems de-saturated. Take it in better light. Now, having said all that, I think it's a nice picture with a beautiful model and great potential once you make a few tweaks.
