Very cool image and effects. Just watch your compression so you don't get the squigglies. You can see what I mean by looking at the top right window...Other than that it's an excellent image! If you want a tip about file compression you can IM me.

This is very good. I would like to see a different perspective perhaps from the front 3/4 view to see expression and not be blinded by the light. Very good first one.

Only thing I can think of is shadows: the shadows from the window are very good, but she doesn't seem to cast a clear shadow. You also might want to light up her face a bit more. I'd suggest an extra spotlight between the woman and the window, somewhat higher than her head, pointing at her head. The volumetric effects are very good, though the turbulence in it is a bit much, which is especially evident at her legs. Must have taken quite some time to render - I only tried something like this once, and after an hour or so I killed the render (only about 0.5% complete by then...) Very good composition. The lighting seems a bit blinding indeed, but that makes for an unusual effect and a great mood. Excellent job for a first full scene!

I agree with svdl. You need a strong cast shadow from her as well to fix the squiggles in the volumetric lighting. The pose and composition is excellent. I love the way she is back lit by the window.The lighting is very good, and dramtic!
