This is pretty clever! You have some awesome ideas.. Usually I am not that picky but it sometimes help to try to point things out that will make the shot more effective.. Then next time you are shooting you start to become aware of these things. There is something like a arm chair beside her that is changing the way the light flows, maybe throw a sheet solid cover over this you can stack something on the other side or use a broom stick to even it up on the other side.. Or just have your model move over to hide it.. was there light behind her? If so then that may be why the affect of this surprise isnt as strong.. I am starting to play with light more and theres so many affects that when you are trying to accomplish an image you really have to take a ton of pics. All the while during the process move the lights to different spots... Even a foil or mirror can change the light.. I love mirror affects.. I still like this though so dont take me the wrong the way :)
This has great potential...but the light isn't consistent with the action. Notice the lid of the box is not fully opened. If the light on her face was really coming from the box....there would be a diagonal shodow from the lid accross her face. Also I wish the wall behind her were black. Nice shot and idea though.
I think this would be more effective if you burned the surrounding area, so that the focus is completely on the subject. Would also help if she were in focus.
