that would suck. I love the picture and the subject. but then again, I might be biased because I love steam punk, lol. the backdrop and the costume are gorgeous.

Very dark, but very beautiful at the same time. I like the bone glove that ends with the silver ring at the very end. Against a different backdrop, maybe the outfit could have made more of a statement, but it matches very nicely with this. I like how the very simple hat draws attention to the very complex eye makeup, it works really well together. The eyes and lips are absolutely beautiful and work together perfectly. I wish I could see more detail on the shirt, the hair coils works nicely, but the shirt is just so plain. A slight design or pattern, even a little ruffle would work wonderfully with it. But it is absolutely beautiful, and a very well done picture. I like the fact that the model has a lot of energy in her, even though this is a very morbid/gothic style. It is a great picture.

Would like to give critique but I don't own subscription, so I'm posting as a comment instead
Judging anatomically, I find the x-ray-bone part a bit disturbing - as in, it looked slightly wrong due to the small internal lighting there (coz since it's internal, there shouldn't be light coming from the side but from the front instead due to the opening, and that grey patch on the right looks like diffused light to me), and since it's inside the limb, there should be a bit more shadows casted from the top (since the whole hand+fingers are still there, and solid mass = shadows, even when the lighting from the front comes through the opening of the cloth).
also, I apologize for being picky here, but I find that the background doesn't gel well with the subject, coz if the background lighting's in the cool mood, the model's lighting should also be in cool lighting (but shadows will beget a warm tone, following the rule of contrasts) - right now, the opposite is happening 
Other than that, I love how you put in effort for the makeup and for the little details, esp. the use of jewellery and costume to bring out the sombre mood.
I sincerely believe it can be better, for I've seen most of your work and I love your attention to details

Except this bone xray-like part I think it's great
It's not that I'm not to these things but in this particular image it lowers the effect of whole composition...in my opinion of course
Beside this one - I love the atmosphere and whole idea
