Let me first say that this picture is incredibly eye catching and is executed wonderfully overall. Using the environment to capture a sense of the model opening the wall is an excellent idea, if not entirely original. The stark white of the wall contrasts well with the darker figure. The focused part of the picture include the wall and the emerging part of the figure. If the wall was more colorful it might have distracted from the action but because it is white it is a perfect frame for what is going on.

There is one aspect of the picture of which I will be most critical, which is the pose. Note that I am being incredibly picky at this point. Due to the title of the picture I am guessing that you are going for a a sense of ripping the wall open. While this is apparent in the image,
it could be much stronger with a pose which showed more effort in opening the wall. A wall of bricks, even with some sort of otherworldly power, should have some weight to them and moving them should take at least a little strength. The current pose is very nice and shows off the model well, but the positioning of the arms reveals to the viewer that the model is not actually exerting any force, and therefore not actually moving anything. The reason for this is that the hands are not parallel or even close. To open double-sliding doors, the easiest way to open is to pull both arms away from each other in a parallel position, using the back shoulder muscles. When you open doors in this way, you do lean over a little, like the model in the picture is doing, but the current positioning of the hands would reduce the power to the point where leaning over would lose it's purpose. The leaning shows use of power and the hands/arms do not. There are two ways the pose could be changed to make the image better.

The first way is to bring the hands to a parallel position. The hands can be placed below or above the head depending on which one shows off the model better. This would again show a use of exerting power and preserve the weight of the wall.

or

The second way to make the pose better would be to have the model keep her hands where they are, but to push her chest out and hold her head high. This would make the hand position look more natural and make the wall seem like it is less heavy, like a curtain.

Thanks for reading.

as an answer to the title : "well, you are doing a great job so far dear...."

That's the kind of poster i'd love to have on my bedroom wall as a teenager (many many years back).
It's truly eye catching !! She is a beauty !!

Fine. Rip my soul. Whatever. But why stop there? Why not cram it into a rotten old bucket, stomp on it, pout gas over it, and light it on fire?

Such an awesome picutre the contrast between the surrounding and her skin makes her pop out in a great way. I love that dominant expression on her face and her body is very beautiful. Very creative picture and pleasing to my eyes.

I feel like the lyric "She will kiss you til your lips bleed" is applicable here haha. The imagery is very evocative and I like the tone your title casts on the photo. More photographers need to add titles to their photos!!

Neat and interesting work :)
