Wow. I am impressed. A lot of thought went into creating this image. The shear night gown, the shear curtains, and the "shear" metal bed. Most people place their bed against a wall, so I ask, did you move the bed? Was this to achieve the lighting you desired? Your pose made me think of the last fight scene in the movie Serenity, with River Tam standing there holding an axe in each hand. You did say you use your phone to trigger the camera. Do you also use your phone, or a tablet to remotely view your camera? If not, it may help you achieve the vision you desire. Just some of the thoughts that that stirred through my brain in the last 24 hours. Take them with a grain of salt, for their 2¢ worth. What I'm saying is, your image made me think, made me come back and look again. And yes, I'm still thinking about other two images. There is a lot I like about them.

I am going to jump in to disagree with rmorrison, or at least give my thoughts. Is it technically a great image, composed and created by a master craftsman meant for sale or museum use? No, but not a lot of images here fall under that category. Is the image creative, or at least as or more creative than the average photo posted here, I say yes. There is a feel, vibe, emotion that was attempted and i think captured by the design and execution of the image. The model/photographer obviously thought this image out, it isn't just a selfie in a mirror (I like the concept, I like the lighting/window, I like the metal bed, I like the see through outfit and the idea of the pose). Being the model and photographer, you open yourself up to double risk of criticism and this being her first time posting her, I think that takes some courage that should be encouraged. Is there room for improvement, sure, I would bet even the OP would agree with that, that is why most of us are posting here and once she has posted several shots and gotten comfortable with the forum/group I think constructive critique is very helpful and probably desired. Being the limited number of photographers that post here even semi-regularly, I am encouraged for anyone to post. Having a female poster is a plus, having a female poster who is also the model is a huge plus in my book, so I don't want anything to interfere with more posts. Doesn't mean I will not be honest on my critique. In this case it is clear (or assumed by me) looking at the photo of a first time poster this isn't a master craftperson photographer but someone likely experimenting and desiring to improve (which is basically what I am). So for me it was a good image cause it created an emotional impact on me (which is the most important thing for me in a photo), was as good as many posted here and I truly want to see other work by this photographer. My expectations for each image I comment on isn't the same in my head and this new poster exceeded my expectations for an initial post and I hope posts more and I hope improves like all of us hope to and most of us do. Now maybe I am wrong and this photographer is a successful professional photographer with many sales in this type of art. If that is true, I will re-calibrate my expectations and critiques accordingly. Bottom line, this forum is better off with this post and poster than without, so that is an overall positive for me.
