Great mystique!

Hmmm, except it's not a real woman ;P. Hehe, nice play on light and shadow to reveal a subject only by the side contour or outline of it. Although the shot is kind of dark its simplicity is intriguing and catches people's attention so that people look. Good vertical framing and cropping, but I think it would be better if there was less negative space at the right since "she" is too centered and it takes focus away from the shape and somewhat abstract nature of the shot. Did you burn the light hitting the mannequin in the lower half? I think that helped to achieve good balance, because otherwise it would have been distracting :). Good with little color, and beautiful shot, thanks for sharing!

Really well done! You fooled me for a moment there. Great idea and well executed. The light really was perfect. It came from the top left...right? I tried working on that backlight we were talking about, didn't really work but I'll keep trying. Really good picture. Simple but good.
