A little to harsh for my taste.....

this is a tough image. on one hand, i usually don't care about blown highlights--in fact i usually relish them. on the other hand, you have such a strong contrast in her face that there is practically no range of tones, as if she's either black or white with no in-between. maybe that's who she really is, but that assessment is so at odds with a musician...

I like the black and white. I don't like the shadows on the person's face though.

The left half of her face is too bright, and the right half too shadowed. The violin is also lost in the shadows. I would like to see this shot with good lighting.

I like the composition. The contrast is a bit strong for me. I'd prefer a few more details in the shadows and her face a little less bright.

very good, except the too bright light on the face, but you've heard that before ...

a little too contrasty, I know you were probably going for that.
