Good scene, good lighting, good subject, good prop, but some how the way it was framed does not come off quite as good.

If this is an advertisement to sell the mirror then you have accomplished your task
For me the lighting is quite harsh, notice the harsh shadow on bridge of models nose
[If you are going to use a prop like the mirror, a reflection of the model would go a long way in connecting the dots]

Bottom line, photo is not working for me

Wish you well

What was your goal, your aim?

Personally, I feel a bit "awk" looking at a mirror with no reflection. Maybe having some clouds, at least, or something in the mirror?

Would like to see more "story" to it, otherwise it's just a girl holding a mirror. Maybe something to contrast her background? Unless you were trying to make it look like a chunk of her was missing?

I think it work for a 2 page spread with text on the left for a mirror add. It would work better cropped vertically (portrait orientation). It is just not very interesting or creative.

With the mirror being such a dominant element in this image I am curious why you chose to have nothing but sky?  reflected in it.  The image as it is looks incomplete...as though you're going to composite something else reflecting in the mirror.
