I don't want to hear that the backround is too crowded

I'm hurt, deep down inside, these wounds do not heal, crawling beneath my skin

I like this. A very film noir, "Welcome to the Cabaret " feel. Especially your tip of the hat to all artists by way of the easel in the background. I think I would have raised the lighting higher, more toward your model's face. Seems a bit dark and slightly unbalanced toward the top. Also, if you put a light on the floor, parallel and slightly in front of the model, the hat(?), would show up better. And, if you oppose your lighting, you reduce shadow, even though I like the shadow in these pix. Your model has a good pose, with a subtle sexiness. I think you might have had her mouth's expression work a little more with the mouth photo in the background. She is meant to be the sexy-ish model(?), but seems to contradict the mouth photo. And finally(phew), I would have included something in the background to balance the right side. Generally composition moves from upper left to lower right, so some object about knee level on the right would work well.

You should play with this shot. Try putting the photo mouth, flipped 180 (in PS) and placed near her boots. That will create a dynamic on several levels.

So much for my advanced critique. Overall, well done.
