Actually this is a test shot for a portrait session, but it turned out to be the best of the bunch.

Natural light through window with a flash bounced off of ceiling.

Maybe I don't understand something about this...but the veil covering the eye doesn't make sense to me.

A little softer may have helped here...

to me tehre are too many distracting highlights in her eye, and the hood isnt very subtle enough, kinda reminds me of my grandmas tablecloth, but aside from that, i like the concept you were going for

Interesting expression (or lack there of).

I like the composition, but the lighting seems a little dead. If you set your white balance to cloudy +1 or +2, you'll get a warmer tone that will liven up the light

the stray hairs detract a little

Great idea but either go for a closer crop or zoom out a bit.
