It's a very proficient shot, although totally unconvincing as a concept! I'm not sure if sepia works well here. I'd favour a subdued destauration of the colour shot.
If wildness is desired I don't think she'd stop to pose for the camera. A frantic, candid, or cowering figure would fit better.
I'm not sure I get it. She has got dirt smeered on her to make her look wild but she has hair spray and eye makeup. Truely beautiful woman but I just don't understand the story that the photo is telling.
some form of escapism at work , carefully muddied without messing up the eye make-up ... technically a good picture but the genre makes me cringe , stuck somewhere between being sexually alluring and a good portrait of a pretty woman - separating the two would be preferable in my opinion

Good shot, pretty girl. nice BW
Good luck
(the dirt seems a little too make-up like, it's not in the right places, IMO, like knees, cheekbones, shoulder etc.)
what an evocative image. most excellent work! i hope it does well for you. as i have nothing else to offer, i'll just sit and enjoy it for a moment, if you don't mind. good luck in the challenge!
I seem to remember a version of this with very strange eyes. This is better but I can't help feeling that I'm watching the Towering Inferno or Poseidon Adventure when glamorous actresses had a little bit of smudging applied to persuade the audience they had been involved in a disaster.
I think the special effects make-up has detracted from what would otherwise have been a clever portrait of an appealing subject. It was a 7 without the finger painting. 5.
Interesting, theres something very sexy about this image. I guess I just like my women a little dirty (pun fully intended I'm ashamed to say). Like the sepia here too. 8.
Composition: 9
Technical: 9
Appeal: 9
Challenge: 10
Overall Score: 9, (weighted)
Very nice shot - just a couple of things that take away from the concept: Seems out of place to have eye makeup, dirt smudges on chest and shoulder look hastily put there - should maybe feather the edges and the hair should be wilder. Still very appealing though!
