If I was to hazard an interpretation I would see her as some form of succubus or temptress, her hair symbolizing a tantalizing beacon from afar. You are ultimately drawn closer in to her chilling reality as she saps the initial warmth of your false hope with that frosty and sinister glare....leaving you shivering and emotionally bankrupt.
Aside from the excellent technique displayed here, this is an extremely captivating image as made evident by it's ability to elicit a quasi-psychoanalytical response from a viewer such as myself!
On the one hand, I commend you on the minimalism of the photo, yet on the other I must condradict myself by saying that looking at it is like looking into the depths of a lake and discovering more and more layers to it, more and more hidden details. I can't help but wonder who is this girl you're depicting, and my mind draws numerous parallels. The glare adds a lot to the impression: it is everything it should be -- icy cold. This would be my definition of the way the queen of arctic should be looking at the world who's watching.
The colors are perfect. And though the red isn't igniting enough to shout "fire & ice" at me as the description suggests, and I wouldn't even stray in that direction if it weren't for the cigarette in your fingers, the title -- "Arctic Fox" -- seems dead on, and I like the red here discreet and foggy a lot better than if it were to be scorching. And amidst the undeniable coldness of the picture -- the hue of the skin, the dark blue lips seemingly glazed with ice, the satre, the background, the lonely pearl in a bow on your head, which is all indeed very "Arctic", there is something feral and sly that reminds me of a "Fox" besides the obvious redness of hair. Perhaps, it's the stare again. It reminds me of how a wild animal would just stare you down.
All in all, this piece definitely stands out from the rest of your gallery and I am curious to see more now.
