I like the bottom half a lot, but the light coming out of her head is a bit disturbing. A slight change of angle when shooting would have made this a lot better.

good shot, there is alot of character in the models face. but i feel that the chandelier is too blurred and detracts from the image.

Stunning capture of pride, strength and wisdom. The detail and contrast is exquisite. Even though the chandelier is blurred I keep going back to my original thought of what is that coming out of her head.

Strong portrait, but I think the chandalier growing out of her head should be cropped out and the background cloned in above her. Nice processing.

if it were not for the distracting chandalier above her, it would have been outstanding.

This is a classic "chandelier growing out of her head picture).

Really nice job on the woman here, but I wish that the chandelier didn't look like it was growing out of her head. I do like the hint of light that the chandelier reflects, but be careful to place it to either side of the head.

Nice exposure and detail on the portrait. However, you need to look at your background before you shoot. Just a recommendation. The candlabra appears to be coming out of her head. That is not a good thing to have in a portrait. Your title is very indicative of the pic and I thought it was very appropriate.
One way to remove distracting background elements is to move the subject, or try shooting from a higher vantage point.

i dont like the placement of subject under that light, looks like it is gonna fall on her head, and it is distracting to an otherwise good subject

My first thought was why is the light coming out of her head -- oops. Otherwise a very nicely done portrait -- good lighting focus and exposure.

this is a splendid photography, had the chandelier been placed elsewhere it
would be sooo much better! still 7

the ceiling line and chandelier both going through the top of her head create a disturbing, dizzying sort of effect. But I'll give you a 7 for inspired weirdness.
