A pleasure to veiw! Very very well done!

It looks as if she has passed through one door, and is now wondering about what lies beyond the next door. I like the mood and the colors of this image. Wonderful.

Spooky and interesting. Like all the green.

I like this photo. I feel that there are some distracting things which are not helping this photo to be given higher points - for e.g. on the left hand side, there is a piece of furniture (brown) which could be croped out. I think that if you give some contrast on the carpet, doors and the background part, this photo will look much much better. Otherwise, brilliant idea

I love the moodiness, the compositional arrangement, and the general flow of the image.

 

However, you are not quite in key here. It has the elements for a low key image, but you have some highlights that compete with the subject.

 

I cloned, setting on darken, the light areas around both doors, making sure the tonality was deeper than the subject. Next I burned in the panes around the front door a bit. I then used the Eliptical Marquee Selection Tool set at a 60 pixel feather, and selected a vertical oval that included the panes. I then right clicked and selected the inverse and darkened the edges a bit. I repeated the selection, only this time it was a larger, horizontal oval. I selected the inverse and darkened it a bit more.

 

I think doing this you will have an image that is in key.

Great concept thats been executed very well. I'm undecided about cropping the rather distracting bookcase(?) on the left hand side out. It looks out of place and distracting, but when I put my hand over it (on the monitor) I find myself missing it - the shot seems rather imbalanced without it....Anyway, the exposure is spot on, and I like the central composition of the model and the textures of the doors and floor, and how the colours of her dress complement those of the doors. Lovely light too. Great work.
