 A model at the Exposure photo show, Toronto.

Outtakes:

A different crop, showing the hands:


Almost 3 hours later, you can see the make up deteriorating... it seems the poor model had to stay put without any breaks:


Thank you, Pug-H, for your expert observations on this characterization - I would never guess so many gaps on that...

Well done!

Love the composition and the choice of BW.

I think the white of her face, though, makes the whites of her eyes look off...

My only complaint. :D

Excellent portrait of a pretty lady. I hope someday someone cherishes her.

Lots to quibble about here - obviously a fake geisha. Make-up is dreadful (sorry - a dragon "tattoo"?), geisha don't wear earrings, kimono is more Chinese than Japanese, and it should be left over right unless it's a cadaver at a funeral.
I like your B&W processing, though.

This is an excellent picture, except for the lighting which i think is a bit too harsh! Could have done with atleast a coupla stops lesser light.. But thats just my opinion

B&W is my favourite, especially when it comes to portraits. This is outstanding so a 9 from me.
