I like it. Interesting use of high contrast.

There must be a story to this picture. I look forward to reading about the point you were trying to get across.

the background is almost too bright to know what's going on. a lot of detail is lost.

In this particular picture, the overexposed look of the background doesn't really appeal to me. I really lost detail. Not sure I'm understanding the theme.

necrophilia?

It took my eyes a moment to realize there was a veiled person on the left hand side. My eyes were totally taken away to the right and bright, out focused area of the photo. My first take was that she was a shadow.

I'm not sure I get it. When I look at the picture I see a cemetery and a woman in veil but the title 'Desire' doesn't really relate to that. So I'm wondering, is the background of something else than a cemetery and if so, is there any connection between the background and the title?
If it isn't, then how is one supposed to connect the title 'Desire' with a veiled woman? Does she perhaps desire freedom or love or something else? I, for one, can't sense the desire in her face though she appears to be looking at something intensily.

What, I'm basically saying is that I don't get this image - I don't understand it.

Now, IF the intention was to showcase the desire in the woman's face I think you've failed a bit. The framing of the face is nice for that but the background and the fact that her face is too dark ruin that a bit. However, if the framing of the face had been the same but the background had been much darker and the face brighter this might have been pretty neat picture.

The background seems full of noise and the foreground lacks critical focus. A little less photochopping and I bet this could have fared much better. I would love to see the original.

The background is to overexposed--I can't tell where she is.
