With the black background I start to lose the rosary beads between her hand and her arm. I like the shot though and the framing for it is good though a bit more of her top lip might have been good.
interesting concept..but it does not convey the emotion its meant to. Maybe you could try with a dimmer light, less arms and more expression onn the subject
