Greetings from the Critique Club:
Lonely go-go dancer was your entry for the Light On White II challenge and it fits pretty well.
Technical:
You haven't put any processing steps in your comments, so I will have to try to work out what you did and how it affected your image. The first thing that strikes me is brightness which suggested your either used curves or upped the brightness. This has caused almost a high key effect but has also distorted the headgear so it has lost its definition. The other part it has affected are the shadows on the dress around her bust and waist. I have to assume that the material was silky and the process you used has made it appear grainy/noisy with no clear shadows. There are a couple of dark areas on the background which are distracting. Parts of her face, neck and arm are blown out due to the brightness. Focussing is very precise and the image is crisp.
Composition:
It is a nicely composed image and her face provides a focus point. Her pose looks slightly awkward, but I am guessing that you captured this at a festival or similar so you would not have had any control over her pose.
Overall:
A clean, well executed image that falls down on some of the processing IMO, although it is clear that you needed to lighten the image for it to fit the challenge. Her headdress is distracting and indistinct, these are probably feathers but have lost their texture. The strange shadow effect on her dress could have been caused by the resizing and saving for web. I like the idea, the B&W and sharp focus. A very good entry and due to what I had said, I think it scored at about the right level. I hope this is helpful and constructive.

| I think the model would have been enough without all the material on her head and across her chest. It just takes away from the overall image and seems to breakup the composition. |

| I don't see go go dancer at all. She needs a short skirt and white boots. This is kind of awkward. Her pose seems a bit unnatural. The "light" seems too harsh and over processed. Her whole attire is more "greek myth" like. |
