I'm not sure of the significance of the title, but this is a dramatic, engaging photograph. Her pose seems appropriate for her garb, and reveals her in an odd way. Nice work!
Not a very flattering pose - it feels like I'm looking right up the nostrils :) Interesting use of colour and props though. The lighting, exposure, and skin tones are spot on. The loose thread on the model's left-hand glove is a little distracting, and it would have been nice for the cross to be more evenly between the two thumbs. The devil's in the details, as they say. 8.
