Very nice!!! Beautiful young lady
Nicely exposed. I like this a lot, although I'm not sure about the link to Wuthering Heights?
The sharp edges of the cloth along her face to me draws to much attention. Personally I would feather it, even if it's just a couple pixels. Otherwise, sweet

Wondering how Withering Heights could be the inspiration for your image I googled the 1978 reference:
After viewing the video for about 30 secs. it amazes me that caterwauling could inspire anyone.
However Your image is great and the young lady is all the inspiration I would have needed!!
Has a ghostly Halloween look to it. Great picture and thank you for sharing.
Nicely done high-key effect.
I love this one, nicely done!

I agree on the harshness of that cloth line. It seems to cut off her hair too much. A slightly different angle or position of the cloth would be perfect.

Thanks. The link is tenuous, I admit, but it is getting near to All Hallowsâ Eve, and when processing this portrait I was reminded of that musical reference to a ghost, trying to get into the house, via a window. I didnât use the original, literary reference as 1850âs novels rarely mentioned nudity.
As this was an art nude shoot, and the chorus line is âHeathcliff, it's me, I'm Cathy, I've come home, I'm so cold, let me in your windowâŚâ, I felt free to indulge in a Paradoxical Undressing theme:

Yes, I was a little tempted to âfix the sheerâ myself. I decided not to, as it lent a hard edge to an otherwise ghostly apparition. To me, the ghost has apparently less substance than the curtain, so I went with that artistic direction for this image. I do of course reserve the right, to change my mind to your option, in the future. đ
