This shot I really love how you have the full reflection of her face and just enough of her, thats really cool, love the white or light colored background around her also

this is a wonderful shot
i agree with the critique about the amount of the upper head in the frame but not about the lighting, which i think is wonderful.
geta work.

*Howdy from the Critique Club*
I really like the composition of your shot, a few thing about the shot, lots of negative space that draws my eyes out of the shot. You might have used a complementary color to keep drawn into the face and eyes. I think also there is either not enough of the other face showing, maybe to the eyes?
Also flattening out the cloth some and showing more of the shoulders would have created more repeating lines, since you are shooting into the mirror.
Light is good, except the light seems to be reflecting into the face and hands causing it to be a white powdery or pale look to it.
Shooting into reflective objects is always a challenge in itself.
Over all I really like your shot and I gave it a nine when scoring, I loved looking at it. You have done a wonderful job and hope to see more like this.
If you have any question about my critique, just ask me.
Have a Great Day, Mark Thomas Kelsay

This one is fascinating. I keep looking at it. It's different from what we expect of a standard studio portrait and I like it when people try something different.

Very cool image - I like the different take on this challenge. A little strong on the NI (or equivalent tool), but it's effective for this picture. <7>

Nice DOF on the reflection, I would have had her flatten out her left to match the right. In my opion it would not distract from her face as much. But, very nice
