She's a dead ringer for Catherine Zeta-Jones of course without the green dots. LOL

Unusual look but you do have plenty of spots here.

The colortone on this seems off. Did you desat a channel or something? How would this look in B/W? Just curious. I hope it didn't hurt getting those "spots" off! :D As for the photo quality, the lighting could stand to be diffused some, unless you wanted those glare "spots" to show up on your big "spots". The focus is nice and sharp on her nose and mouth, but seems to get soft around her eyes.

It looks like the sharpness is a bit down. Could either be a DOF issue or just the lens. I'm guessing I'm going to see a number of shots like this. It doesn't really work for me. Other than for a "spots" challenge, would you ever do this shot? Probably not. 4

Nice shot mate but I kind of think the nasal piercing and the necklace kind of distracts the point of the shot? Great idea though!

Looks like The Blob had babies and they attached themselves to her face. Not exactly attractive, but spotty.

Clever idea, although I find the exposure a little grey and flat.
