Very 'Bridehead Revisited' type composition, which leaves the viewer to fill in the story (a facet of great photography in my opinion).
Makes me think of a wife waving her husband off to fight in the first world war. There is monetary richness in the home, but no amount of cash can ease the pain of departure
Heh - pretty woman beats a flower with hot pixel any day :p
Your people shots are getting more and more interesting. Like I said, I don't think the title is fitting with this because this looks like a Grecian scene more than anything. I think the sepia works well with that theme to. Nice jump from 5.5 :D
beautiful subject and tonality, the sense of light is perfect. I find myself slightly distracted by the sliver of dark window on the left, as I think I would be more at ease viewing this image if her hair and eyes were the darkest elements. Once past the basic editing rules, a selective dodge lightening of the window sliver might be worth playing with, as might be a tiny bit of darkening of the pillars on the left and right--make her the lightest element here. Or ignore everything I just said, either way you got an 8 from me!
This is a nice composition, however I'm not overly fond of the tones you've used, this may be that my monitor needs calibration but I feel this might have been nicer as a b&w.
I like how the pillars frame the shot. Moving to the left a bit with have removed the black of the left hand window though.
The sepia works well with the soft mood you are trying to capture. The model's dress works well with the soft focus concept as well. Her pose is unfortunately a little stiff. It would also be nice if her hand was motionless when you snapped the shot as the motion blur is a little distracting.
And the title? You aren't taking a picture of Ellie May so the Clampett title doesn't work here.
