I believe the focus is set on to the glass/droplets. And the reflection in fact is to be found somewhere behind the mirror - I do not understand the benefit of softness here.

The lady is not satisfied with herself and this wiping motion adds a lot to the story - very truthful moment!

Very creative. Extra points for that. Love the subdued colours. My only suggestion would have been to make the part where her eyes reflect in the mirror clear, so the eyes would come through sharp. That way the viewer could focus on that point. Ofcourse if you intended overall soft feel, then job well done.

interesting shot, i love the idea. but i would think it to be a little better if it was a little more in focus. never the less, great shot.

A great capture of the subject's personality - something every portrait should strive to do. I like the tones and the lighting. I lvoe the overall concept and the composition.

This portrait actually tells a story. I like it.

The obvious wiping marks spoil the pic. great idea.

While I think this is a neat approach, I can only say it is not my cup of tea. If the eyes were more in focus and the center of attraction, I think I would be more into this shot. As is there is nothing compelling my attention. BOL

Unique idea and I think it works, but wish I could see the eyes.

Very creative. Great shot...

Nice idea. It should be better to have something in full focus, the eyes for instance.

Very mysterious and engaging - a neat idea. The hand wipe to provide balance and an explanation is very clever. The limited colour tones works well too.
