Good idea and the model seems to have produced something you could work with but I think the effect around the eyes is overdone. The light on the model's left arm (right of photo) is too hot; especially against the dark hair. - 5
This is disturbing so I guess you did good :) I keep staring at it wondering what she's thinking. The human services worker in me makes me want to do something for her but she would probably SAY she could handle it herself. GOOD JOB 10
personally and with personal experience this does not work for me...but it generates a fairly strong response -I don't like it. I have been wrestling with this comment since I saw the image and I know that what bothers me is the Madison Ave (ad agency) feel to a problem I have worked with for many years. I am going to change the 'score' simply because I keep thinking about it and have to acknowledge that with a higher placement
Quirky and stylised, certainly compelling - I like the expression and the way the make up pulls me towards her eyes. The high contrast works well for this.
