It is difficult, I must admit, to discern what ought to be said about this photo. It's surprising and revealing. And it seems that there was a lot of thought and work that went into it. It perfectly encompasses the definition of cold and crystals. The color is appealing: not monotonous, vibrant but consistently one scheme. Muted is all warmth, and so I say well done if that is your angle. All technical skills are accounted for and rightly captured. A range of dark to light is present and nicely accomplished.
However, I am unsure what to make of the emotions and the story here. Again, I come back to the words 'Revealing' and 'Surprising'. Her face invites but asks to stay away. It's the eyes (which are nicely executed) and the nakedness. I'd be interested in hearing what your creative vision was with this. It begs for a backstory. That may be the one thing that makes me hesitate about it. It begs for questions that cannot be answered outside of a conversation with you. Perhaps that would be a good place for an artist statement to pick up.

Overall, well done.
