Comment by Blackdog:
Yes nice shot but the pose of the seated figure is very strange and tends to dominate the shot because of that. A few shots from the same position may have produced a more natural scene?

While this picture is backlit - the backlighting appears to be just a circumstance of the occasion and doesn't help the picture any. I like the picture but it seems to fall under the "how to compensate for" rather than "how to make use of" backlighting.

I like the purple against the stark contrast of white and black. Another photographer with expensive taste in perfume!!!!

Comment by GoldBerry:
too much reflection and I think a solid [one color] background would be better

It looks like the angles are tilted to the left. That may be an optical illusion from the bottles in the center and on the right. Good soft lighting of what I bet was a difficult subject.

You probably worked hard to get this effect, but in my opinion it didn't work. Too bright background, over sharpened, and strange exposure.
