While I think this picture fits it’s title well, being homogeneous and free from dark shadows, I think a different technique would have made this image really pop. A technique that would emphasize the texture and depth your hair and veil bring to this picture.
Something else I like about your submission is the fact that, while you captured your entire face, you do not show your eyes. A majority of the picture in this challenge have added color processing to their eyes to help grab attention. I like the fact that not only did you avoid that technique but you avoided showing your eyes all together. It almost adds a level of suspense to the image. Wanting or wondering what your eyes look like.
I'm guessing you had a scarf around you that you can see past your hair on the right? IMO it distracts a little from the overall portrait, but this is very nice. I like the high key editing.
I like the idea and the shot, I just think that its almost too high key because you lose a bit of your features. However it does still show your beauty, and I really like your composition and pose. Nice work.
Just for the record, this is not high key, it is high contrast. Very definitely high contrast. A high key image is almost entirely light tones, whereas high contrast is all darks and lights with little or no gray scale in between,
