A very beautiful woman with an interesting prop. But, the full on, flat lighting makes the portrait look contrived...hey...women don't drape themselves in lace and sit entranced in a room that has absolutely zero atmosphere or character (nor do they do that in other light as well), and you have done nothing to suggest a narrative. Why is she there? Why is she wrapped in lace? Why is she nude? As it is, this tells no story, and makes no sense. Not that I'm a fan, but check out the work of William Mortensen. Here's a link: http://www.thescreamonline.com/photo/photo06-01/mortensen/commandtolook1.html You can do much better.
