This is a stunning photo - the black and white is so graphic. I like the part where it contrasts with her chest. It's almost like it's a flat vector surface, an illustration type feel. In other words, some part of the photo is flat while other has more natural lighting and texture. My eyes keep going back and forth on that which just makes it engaging. Don't get me started on visual pathway and how her body is used for that is just great.

Lovely work. Really want to see more.

I agree with Damian that it is stunning. I saw the thumbnail of it and immediately opened it. It's eye catching and I love the monochrome theme but the fact that her suit stands out so much and yet still her body completely makes the suit what it is. Very well done.

Really good and balanced composition where the contrast is not as dark to hide the stitching in her pockets and not as bright to make my weak eyes flinch. The creamy tones of her skin make her warmer, friendlier.

The model breaks up her straight pose and arches just a little and Alexey managed to frame her with just about enough information in a non-boring, non-conventional, you-have-to-be-in-the-center composition.

I have to check out the rest of his gallery!

Everything in this photo looks amazing! The movement of the entire piece is great, and the negative space is proportioned perfectly with the girl. Photography is not my strongest area, but this is clearly an amazingly executed photograph. Nicely done.
