Hmmm, interesting image, yet for me, not very motivational. The left hand side of the lips looks overly done with the lipstick compared to the shape of the lips on the right. Point for creativity though.
Maybe try it with the old side shadowed that way it'll look more real and less like theator makeup. Otherwise this is a great idea, the method of lighting just bugs me.
Wow is all I can say! This image is captivating. You did a fantastically brillint job on this image. The make-up is literally unbelievable! You're use of font type flows from one age to the older age. Simply unreal. 10 from me. (Think I'll go and dye my hair, now!)
Interesting idea. Certainly different. But I'll be honest and say I'm not too keen on the editing. Maybe a little more subtlety would have worked better?
