WOW. This one is far better than the one that was entered. The color gives it life and purpose whereas the one you entered looked a bit messy(sorry, that's my general reaction to the treatment) and not well set up.
This just knocks me out. the possibilities are endless. Did you try any handprints with that paint? Oh, I bet some movement would just be beautiful.
I like the color, especially the paint. But, I think I like the other pose better than this one. This definitely has posibilities, though. If you caught some paint dripping down, that would be pretty cool. Thanks for posting one of the color versions.
I definitely would have submitted this one. Would have gotten at least an 8 with me. The color adds infinitely more depth than the B&W. If I had the mode and opportunity (isn't that always the case) I would do a series - adding more and more paint in different positions. This is so cool. Okay, make it at least a nine if only for the possibilities. :)
