Nice mystery effect, It could be lighter though.

I get the mystery of wondering who she is. But the picture is so dark as to leave me wanting to see more. Dodging or otherwise lightening up her face would add a lot. 4.

Looks more like some paintings I've seen than a photograph which I consider a good thing in this case. I get a nice vibe from this but what's up with the hot pixels?

Not bad, but I think in the end just a bit too dark. The colors are also tending to a muddy brown instead of black. Not sure about that. A simple thing (and I'm docking you for this) would have been to clone that hot pixel out. 5

The lighting seems a little flat and low. I know dark usually means mysterious but having an additional light just on her face or something to brighten it up and give more of a focal point may have helped bring some more drama to the shot. Also the shadow is a little distracting.

Nice low-key shot... There's something really disturbing about her.
There is a couple of blue dots that need to be removed. 9 from me.
