this is both intriguing and vaguely unpleasant--a lovely subject, well composed, but a really unflattering image--kind of a formaldehyde, corpsified flesh sorta look to it that troubles me. This is an extremely well executed out-of-the-box approach to this challenge, so it gets a 7 from me. I would love to score it higher, but I guess it is just off-putting enough that I can't. I would love to see this re-interpreted in an out-takes thread, or in your portfolio.
selective color = blech. You shoot this in IR- Her skin is unusually glowy... I bet the uneducated will cry DNMC... Overall the photo is too dark and her lips are green.
This looks like a really nice portrait with way too much processing. The skin is a white/grey colour and looks like a mannequin due to heavy handed nise reduction. On a lighting front I would say it's very nice soft light but could use a little light into the eyes which are very dark and don't have enough of a catchlight in them. Lots of potential but a few things really detract from the shot IMO
