Oh my, this is such a sad piece to look at. It conveys perfectly the thought of having someone you care deeply about being far away or out of reach. Waiting to be with someone you care about is one of the hardest feelings to cope with, and this piece portrays that longing very well.

The aged yellow and texture both make this look dated and matched well to the feeling of the actual image. Your clothing and rings, as well as the dried roses all add to the dated feel of this photograph.

While I do like the necklace and dramatic eyeliner, I think that they seem 'out of period' with the rest of the clothing and post-processing effects. I would have used a string of pearls or similar jewelry, and use a less dramatic eyeliner. Even though those are my preferences, I still really like the contrast of the eyeliner with the elegant dated feel of the rest of the piece, so it is hard for me to say that my suggestion or critique would better the image, or make it more plain.

The angle and lighting are perfect here, the sharp reflection in the eyes draw your attention right in. I really like the saturation, and the scratches in the background, an antiquated look for a timeless emotion. The only thing I find odd is the background behind the roses, the lightness of it right next to the stark shadows on the stems and leaves make the roses look fake, like they're not really part of the photo. I'd suggest darkening that top left corner to make a more natural shadow appearance. Excellent work though, you definitely know how to put that kick into a photo

great job! there is one thing that I like that hasn't been mentioned yet. i love how you used the window frame as a diagonal from the right bottom corner to lead the eye right to the face. also this leading line in conjunction with the line of the face and hand create a nice triangle! great compostion!
