Put a shiny black wig on (my hair is naturally short & red!), added a ribbon, and dropped my shirt. I had many shots that were more "glamorous" and complimentary but this one had a real emotive feel to it...reminded me of that famous 1962 Bette Davis Movie...you know the one!!
The plot: In a decaying Hollywood mansion, Jane Hudson, a former child star, and her sister Blanche, a movie queen forced into retirement after a crippling accident, live in virtual isolation.

Beautiful accuracy to a "star photo" - very good. I have seen 16x20 lithos from late 40's & 50's w/linen texture for this kind of a studio publicity image. A good condition original is quite expensive. This is a fun image, & I think good work recreating this style. The star's large and expressive signature is usually evident.
Honestly you didn't need texture. Beautiful big eyes, colors are very nice. Composition awesome... I am not going to limit my voting for texture, but it my opinion, you didn't need it at all :/ Good job overall :)
Ohhhh. . I ADORE this photo! How creative and beautifully done. Sometimes, I don't really care for artistic filters. . but I LOVE it in this one! I sure hope the dpc world is feeling artsy this week, cuz I'd love to see thsi one in the top 10 for sure.
