If i understand it correctly your idea behind the photo was 'lost in thoughts'. I don't get that at all from the photo. I see a very engaging, direct look, not someone who is wandering in her own mind. To get that impression, i would expect her to look besides us, away in the distance. It's really a shame, because to me this is a very strong photo, but just not for what you want to evoke. Vision: 2/5
Originality: I see a lot of portraits against a black or white background, so i like it when i see something else. 3.5/5
Technique: It's good. What more is there to say? The composition has the eyes at a third: good. The dof is excellent: background nicely blurred and her face in focus. Light-use is also good: the white background against the dark hair, the darker background against the white arm/clothing. Also the white of the face emphasizes the eyes, lips and hair, making them all strong points. In short: 5/5
Impact: Though it might not be what you intented as impression, it is a strong shot. Her engaging eyes, the excellent use of light and the strong composition bring it all together as a photo of a strong woman who is checking us out as viewer. 4.5/5

thank you so much for your feedback
i guess i have to had a comment in the description of the photo about the title which is completely random, i just needed a title to upload it to DA, not that i think she is lost in thoughts, she really doesn't look like it.
this is just a simple portrait that has nothing to do with the title and is not either conceptual, so i'm not trying so make the image match to that concept. people often tell me she doesn't look lost in thoughts and i totally agree, and i'm really open to suggestions for a better title..i'm going to had that to the description right now
thank you again for sharing your thoughts i really appreciate

Very soft portrait. Her eyes look sad to me. Like she's lost something very special.

This photo is stunning thanks to the model's facial and body expression captured from this vantage point. The black and white is pretty fitting. The overall feel is nice.

I like her pose, and the lighting is excellent. Love the way her hair is so shiny and smooth, and the subtle detail of the necklace. Her Expression is slightly thoughtful, maybe a little.... accusing, too. I don't quite know. It looks calm and knowing... Very nice.

Really nice shot

Very nice. 
First off- I like the pose. It's not necessarily an extraordinary pose, but it 's good because the way she has her head facing you and her body not, it creates this silhouette that is very nice. It also accentuates her hair and in turn her face.
Her expression is nice and relaxed, which is nice, but she doesn't look lost in thought to me- she has kind of a sorrowful, knowing expression on her face.
And what exactly is the background? I know it's out of focus, but I think it was a very good choice- it doesn't distract from the photo being of her. However, at the same time, this portrait isn't overly enthralling to look at. It lacks that thing that makes it stand apart from other photos. I don't know exactly what it is, but it is missing something.
Overall, it's a great picture though-nice job. I think it would be interesting to see a different composition or how you might crop this.

thanks for taking the time. i agree that she doesn't look lost in thoughts, but i had to name this to upload it, and i was out of inspiration (you may suggest i title, if i like i'll change it 
this was a simple portrait in the middle of a shoot which i liked when i saw it in my computer so i get it when you say it doesn't stand out, i just liked it but has no special concept or thought behind it.
the background is grass and flowers, i like the bokeh effect it gives to the image.
thanks again for sharing your view
