It may be a good shot if it has the context of other images so it tells a story, but as a stand-alone image it's rather weak. Her face is three quarters obscured, and it's not immediately obvious that the thing blocking her is another person.

The light is quite nice though, it looks like she's holding a candle. Do you have any of her where her full face is visible?

I agree. There is really nothing to this picture. Would have been better if you had stepped to the side so we could see her.

Good try but not what I can like.
Can't give you an specific reason but to me something essential is missing here.

Tiberius, ratjack, samsen - thank you for the honest words, I respect critism and is why I posted this photo. I was a little unsure if it was powerful enough to stand alone as an image. I wanted to see how little of her face I could show and get away with still drawing in the viewer. FAIL :o)
