I am wondering why the razor.. if it's necessary for the suggestion of dangerous or blood-threatening ideas. Sadly, in this particular point in history, razor blades and mirrors have the connotation of cocaine, etc. If that's Not what you meant, then I think I'd consider a shot without the blade or have the blade used some other way. Perhaps you could have smeared it with a dark viscous liquid? Your lighting, too, might be more gritty, somehow.. smaller source, more directional.. eyes more in shadow? just some suggested possibilities. I'd be SO tempted, too, to remove her reflection except for where her nails and chin/fangs are in contact with the surface... you know.. for the "vampries don't show up mirrors" effect. ;-) While I'm on a roll, here, I'll also suggest maybe taking the brightness of that shoulder down.. the skin is sensual and seductive, but I think it would still carry that quality if it were darker so that the face/eyes/hands would keep more attention. I hadn't let myself get started with this one, when I saw your original posting, since I didn't yet know what I'd want to say about it, yet. I did want to be sure, though, to give it the attention it deserves, since I believe I get what you're going for, and since I honor the consistently good quality of your work.
