Ennil, oh, Ennil. Jeez, what am I supposed to say here. Why did this finish 40th??
I have no clue. Maybe it was too much statement for the viewers, though that, in itself was subtle.
I think the red below the eyes and on the nose was a bit much, and didn't seem to complement the maroon scarf and purple very well. But then, my wife is always telling me how clueless I am on colors.
I actually like the hands in the picture, the eyes are absoluetely fabulous, the use of a ringlight is great. You might have sharpened them a wee bit more though.
All in all a good photograph. Your work is always good though, but I'm not sure this came out as "great". Of course, that's all subjective. :O)
Very nice shot, my only issue with it is the forehead is really bright, basically blown out. I would bring it down ever so slightly to get a little bit of detail.
I like the concept of the shot. What bothers me is the severe contrast between the forehead and nose bridge and the eye makeup. Perhaps with different toning /hue...
Love those catchlights, almost done with the voting and been waiting to se a ring catchlight, love those. Not really loving the post processing as it comes to skintones though, too white/purple somehow for my taste, also composed a little bit too tightly or not tight enough somehow, what I mean is either compose tighter and lose the fingers and just concentrate on her eyes and that area or a slightly wider composition that has all of the left hand in the shot and most of the right one too and show more of her hair, this is somewhere in between and it just doesn´t seem to fit somehow, well to my taste anyway :)
This has emotion and power in it. The eyes speak to me as well. I think the whites of the eye are too white but that's ok. The makeup is a bit overdone for my taste but this image just screams "Ad campaign". This is a powerful and emotive shot. If I were to guess, I would say seeing the ringlite and the pose, this is either Kiwiness or Nasti. If not, I apologize. Good luck. This is definitely top tier imagery ;)
