Way too cool... the subject is so fantasy-like, I love that face-painting! Nice use of lighting too.

I didn't get a chance to vote on this challenge, but I would have voted this very highly. Intriguing subject and great lighting. Thanks for sharing.

I tried a shot of an oil lamp for the glass 2 challenge. This is a lot better. This is the atmosphere I was trying for. Maybe I should have tried to have something besides just the lamp in the shot. I like the effect of the light in the chimney of the lamp and the mystery of the woman with the painted face. I really like a photograph that makes me want to know more about what is going on. I agree with the commenters; this is a 7, easy.

That's pretty cool. We're left with not knowing what it's about but are drawn into the half lit face and face decoration

Great idea, but I wish the (very pretty) girl had been holding the lamp so that her face could be seen a bit better. I think this would have given the image a more dramatic look.
