I don't get people, really. This is a magnificent shot, real & raw. The massess suck, what can I say. Maybe if people knew you as they do some of the other folks that placed higher with 'regular' portraits... dunno. Adding this to my fave. Great stuff!
The reality of self is... you have a Wonder Woman-like ability to use your bracelets to protect you? I'll look forward to seeing your explanation when you win the challenge ;) A very interesting photo!
Your portrait makes me think Eastern countries, probably by the silver bands on your arms, India or Pakistan or somewhere in that area (probably wrong guess) Very intriging and nice colours. I gave you 8.
This photo is great. At first I wanted catch lights in your eyes and then I realized that this would have destroyed the look of the image. The color of your skin, the black of your eyes, the bangles all really speak about who you are. Great job 8
Nice and edgy, but I wish your eyes were a bit more lively. A catchlight or something less flat would really have improved. I understand though that some may argue that it adds to that sombre feel it has, but I think something else there would really have worked. Great otherwise.
