My first publication in this group, a portrait done with a mix of natural light and one strobe to put more light on her face.

I'm too inexperienced to provide much constructive criticism--at least, too inexperienced to provide much valuable constructive criticism haha--but I think I'd like to be able to see the other side of her face a little better. My eye keeps getting drawn to that spot, where it's very dark. Otherwise, I really like it. The flower arrangement makes it come off a bit abstract, in my opinion, which is really great; meanwhile, the portrait is soft, nice, and dreamy. Awesome picture!
I like the idea, and I think you've neatly put that light in to see the glimpse of her face. I think she's too overshadowed (literally as well as figuratively) by the crown of flowers that falls down over her. The visual weight of those flowers pulls the composition off compared to the lower 2/3rds of the image. Now if you'd gone even further with this and had the flowers cascading all down her body (either practically or in post manipulation) then that could be a different way to go that would fit the headpiece. Then we'd have a glimpse of her face, perhaps a glimpse of her shoulder, and a glimpse of her bare back and all the rest could be flowers on her or flowing away from her (if you wanted it really dream-like). I hope that is useful feedback for you, and not just sounding like a rebuff of your concept and image.
