A few things you could do to improve your image, one cropping in from the sides removing the silver frames, two adding more contrast, three blurring background object. I used the elliptical marquee tool, by pulling out a nice big circle then inversing it. Then I filled with black paint and blurred it to remove the sharp circle edge. Then you drop the opacity down to about 10%. Give you a better image. Also this helps the viewer focus on the subject.

Your photo is quite flat, since most of the shot is in the shadows, a small bit of curves made it pop out a bit more. Thus improving the colors.

First of all if this would have been in the right challenge it probably would have done really well. It does have story to it, one a fantasy look to it. So I will try to critique, as if it was in this challenge.

Your lighting looks ok, maybe a touch softer. Colors are good. Your model expression could have been more sad. Than a look of you want to fight, because if you put boxing gloves on instead of chains, looks like she's ready to rumble. I still think you could have used a shot like this, like the one in your portfolio. With the chain coming right out from under the dress and leading out of the picture and still keeping the story book feel to it.

I do see some imperfection in your shot, this is her right hand area around the knuckles. It looks a little strange and her relationship to the background, it looks more like clip artish. ( is that a word, is now ) I think some more depth would have help here, or even blurring in Photoshop in the bottom half.

If you have any question about my comment please ask me

You a wonderful day, Mark Thomas Kelsay.

This would make a killer black and white even without the window frame in it.

I would have done some more adjustments to this and would have made it better.

The only thing I don't like is the window handle. It is a little distracting. To bad you didn't have a window without it.

Over all I like this image. I would have got rid of the top left corner, a little on the bright side.

This could have been a lot bet image, level, curves or anything to improve it. Its a flat side. Also need to keep your file size up to around 150k.
