 For this theme, I wanted to do something a little different than what first came to mind. In this case, intimacy means letting someone see what they don't or can't normally.

An interesting take on "Intimacy." I like the concept behind the picture. I think it would be more intimate and less unnatural if she didn't have her hand holding her towel - this would allow for a more voyeuristic feel evoked in your title. It might also work better of the image in the mirror was in focus and the less interesting back side of the model be the part that is soft focus.

'The She We Don't See' - that's because there's a towel in the way . . oh wait - I see what you mean . . :- )

A good idea but there are too many strong verticals in here which detract from the picture, and there is a distracting tension between the whiteness of the basin drawing the eye away from the model, along with the large dark area diagonally opposite it.

Ideally you would have moved her along the mirror a little to get ris of the dark area, and hung a backdrop behind her to lose the distracting reflections in the mirror. Perhaps also gone for a towel with a punchier colour ?

It's a good idea, and a fits the challenge well, but for me, needs more work on the technicals. Good luck in the challenge.

The lighting on the 'real' person is overpowering the reflected person... warring for attention, when it should be on the reflected one, IMO.

You should focus on the image in the mirror instead of up close.

Good pose. Some better lighting would have really helped this one.
