Oh, I even wouldn't dare to, Martina ;o).
Interesting portrait, with a strong pose and look that fit with the photo-title. I like the use of "overexposure" here, because it creates hard contrasts that make her look a little scary (like you wanted it).
However, the position of her hand and arm on the left side doesn't convince me. As you had to crop them partially, we ask ourselves why they are in that position. It doesn't look "natural" given the tight (and interesting) framing you choose. So, I would have preferred a pose in which se holds her arm and hand down (making them invisible on the photo).
Just my personal opinion, of course. Feel free to (dis)agree ;o).
TFS & kind regards,
Erik
