very strange treatment, I like it. unfortunately for the whole "meeting the challenge thing," i find that any emotive/emotional content in this is drowned out by the post-processing.
I don't know if morning sickness is actually a mood, but the inversion certainly helps convey the feeling. I'm not sure if the color version would indicate the feeling in the better.
Oh man. . . . you did a GREAT job of depiciting that awful feeling!! I almost felt it again just looking at this -- and it's been a hundred years since I felt it. :) Good job.
I normally don't like negative images and I don't like the title, but this photo is exceptionally engaging. You can literally see the emotion & feeling of the model and I commend you on choosing a negative image for this (as I imagine the positive image is much less exceptional). You've used the tools available & lighting to make a stunningly beautiful statement. Very nice work. (10) (Only the 4th time I've ever given a 10.)
