Admittedly, I am not into discussions over negative spaces etc., such considerations having very little importance in the real world of art. A photo either has impact or it doesn't, little else matters judging by all we see in museums, galleries and exhibitions that are filled with photos with missing limbs and ears, crooked horizons, over and under exposed areas and whatever.
I love the picture above, it has strength that goes well beyond the beauty of its subject. The tender and thoughtful expression, the subtle tones and focus on the eyes all contribute to making a powerful image, bravo.

Thank you very much, John, I much appreciate your comment and your attention made me glad!
I think that those rules (I prefer to call them guidelines) are parts of the "learning curve". When a photographer gets practice over a certain level, they build up as an imaging "instinct". Overpassing them is like the blue notes in jazz music, modify and direct the observer. But one have to know (or feel by talent) what to pass and what to obey to. Cut ears and crooked horizons in the museums are tools of diversion, they are guiding the observer's mind. A real artist wouldn't usually consider them when creating the image, but the beginner must know them to use them well.

Superb reply, I agree with you totally, and I love the analogy with jazz which I will take the lberty of quoting in future. Thank you.

gorgeous! love the expression and the flow of movement in the shot! very elegant and calming~
in regards to critique, if it were me, I would have had more negative space to the left of the image so that it creates
a sense of space like as if the model was pondering into 'space', something more about the world~ kind of makes the
viewer think about what the figure in the photo is thinking about, which makes the piece more interesting to look at.
alternatively, if the figure was abit more to the right it would've done just that
I think by creating this space it creates more visual depth in the photo, less of a flat taken shot.
also, the dark areas on the very left, edge of the photo is abit distracting as well, it's a small thing,
but even the small stuff can affect the overall mood of the image.
overall its a beautiful photo

I definitely agree with your critique! I'd left the negative space on the left and avoid the darkened area, but the location was not allowed it. This shot was made during an art nude workshop and the model was posing on a balcony in a pretty village with houses around us everywhere. We had large white drapes to cover her from the curious (and ocassionally malevolent) eyes, but keep as much light as we can.
The dark parts on the left edge are areas where the veils couldn't overlap and opened a bit.
If she'd been a bit more to the right, the flow of her hair would break by the crop and the overall impact would suffer it. I surely know because I tried that crop, too
For summary, it's my stupid approach that I start to shot portaits of a beautiful and naked lady 
I really appreciated your comments, and absolutely accept and agree with your critique that was not overcritical at all, but helpful, in-depth and wisely built. Thank you very much!
I cannot be thankful enough to Zseni Jung, a unique and remarkable photographer, and Zoe Larion , the model who is a real pro: beautiful, easy to work with and blessed with patience and a good sense of humour. And have thousand faces, at least
