From the critique club.
Hi,
This is a fantastic image with a nice composition. The best part of it is how the eyes flow first to the face, then to the hands and then lastly to the knives. There are no harsh shadows which make it look perfect and the diagonals of the hair in the face is nicely balanced with the arm going in the opposite direction.
My only comment if it has to be will be about the shiny hand, if it is intentional then I am for it but what if it is a little rough with the dirt texture visible (since you already have a side lighting). I think this would go very well with the rough look on the face.
Technically nothing to be said as I would love to have photographed something like this for my folio.
My criticism is based on my meagre knowledge of composition and photography I would be happy to have any feedback regarding the improvement of the critique.
With regards
Kausik

One of my absolute favorites in this challenge. Make the crop a bit looser and you'd have a perfect horror movie poster. 10!

Lots of expression in those deviant and deceiptful eyes and pouty lips just short of a sickening smile. She made it work.

Nice idea, posing the arm to frame the face works for this composition.

Definitely gritty and scary - great colors and beautiful model - the crop makes the pose look a tad forced.

For some reason she reminds me of Kirsten Dunst. This is the type of shot I'm digging in this challenge. REAL dirt, not a bit of applied makeup. Nice composition. I like the arm over her head. 8
