Normally I would think this was too naked (the motive, not the model), but in this photo it actually works brilliant. It looks like something from a dream. The empty background makes it look like something that's not real, more a fantasy than a "real" scene. It's quite fantastic, and her thoughtfull expression amplyfies it.
I also love the elegence in it. The white veil, her facial expression, the positure of her feets, her hand, and, specially, her bracelet and navel-pierching.
I also find it technical impressing that every little thing in this picture is bright and white, and still every detail is visable, instead of drowning in its own brightness.
I think this is a good example of the use of High Key photography. I like the pose the model is in, it feels different than I have see before. The minimalist background and allows for you to ponder the models expression providing the picture added depth. Here I think less was absolutely more.
I would like to see if the High Key could be pushed further providing added drama. I think if it could be done you would get more of a dream like effect. The only other thing I might question is the models pose. It is unique ( not a stock pose I remember seeing) but is seem awkward. I have some tension when seeing the picture like I am afraid she is about the fall off. I am not sure whether this is due to the placement of her feet or her twisted posture. You may have intended to put that tension picture if so I applaud the attempt but I am not sure it is for everyone.
Overall I like this piece and I believe it has potential to sell to a very specific buyer.

Well done!
