wow. cool image. love the lighting- is there fine layer of white powder on her face, or is that effect due completely to the lighting?

one suggestion- crop out the lower border of the mirror in the bottom right corner...

neat shot, crop not withstanding.

I really like it.

The top sort of disappears, and the top of the mirror becomes the image frame. A black border or burning the top of the image would help keep this area, which I think helps the composition.

thanks for your thoughts, -

no, theres only a lighting at milena's face, she was taking the powder off at the moment -

heres a cropped version-

you're right - i haven't thought about it - at my monitor the black border appears automatically -

thanks again!

No critique here, just undiluted curiosity:

How does Milena like her photo?

the crop is definitely better. I find the white area at the top quite distracting though.
