I'm curious to see how this fares after my Color Portrait entry. Both are the same style but I think this one is infinitely better. This is the free study, so my hopes aren't that high.

Looking at this again in the cold/sober light of day i think i was probably a bit harsh with my initial comment. I like it a lot more for some reason. Missed your colour version but this has a nice stillness to it. To be honest, i'd like it a lot better without the facepaint.
Hum, i don't know about this sort of stuff. It is so contrived and, really, doesn't say much at all. Technically it is fine i guess, but, really, it's not much of a photograph and isn't really saying much creatively. 5.
