I like the idea a lot -- but it is very dark on my screen. When I bring it into photoshop and look at the levels, it appears that the highlights bar should have been brought to the left quite a bit -- to actually get your whites white. It seems underexposed...

Not enough light was used to create a high key. Her skin tones are actually darker than normal. You should have used frontal lighting instead of top.

I like the composition. It would have been a better high key photo with less gray tones on the face and on the wall.

Very nice photo, the key could have been slightly more without loss of detail...6

Compositionally, this is a very intriguing image. But I feel there is a lack of light which makes the who picture seem flat.
