Description
This is the first of two images I did as an experiment in lighting using SaintFox's Encore, the beautiful Sira Black, and the mood-setting poses and props of DM Productions. I am interested in knowing what people think of each image. This one has a dramatic shadow behind the character but loses some details.
Any comments would be very helpful. Thanks to all who have commented in the past.

Quite gothic!
Great moody image! Good work!
Your continued and diligent efforts are paying off. The next keeps getting better than the one before. Good Job!
Perfect atmosphere. I would say you achieved your target.
I have sen them both and have to say that I like this image better! The girl is grounded and causes very fine shadows! Although it's hard to get it all (mood, shadows, darkness, detail...) you could try to add a pointlight to brighten up a small area that is important for you or add a less intense spot (60-70% or dark-grey with 100% intensity) with shadows turned off.
