Wow! I didn't see this until now and this is awesome. Had I voted in the challenge it would have received a very high score. I agree with the commenters about your hair competing for attention, but it's just a nitpick, IMO.
lol I loved this shot in voting. ( I should have said it while in voting, duh!) Are you a widow per chance? :) Like Michelle, I do not want to tick you off.
lol - you are such a nut. i like how every so often you throw in a very thought provoking photo (the last one that comes to mind is when you used the ahh props from your biz) :)
I like that you've really focussed in on the eyes, though I wouldn't mind it being a little sharper overall as the contrast between eyes and body is quite startling. Otherwise this is quite haunting, which I'm guessing was the aim so well done.
First impression - Yikes! 'hell hath no fury like a woman scorned'
Technicals - The red hair of the model competes for attention with the red of the heart. So my eye then rests on the black of the knife handle. The white dot on the handle grabs my attention away from the black dots of the eyes. They are along the same plane. The focus seems to be on the heart but its slightly off the mark. I would like to see something more sharp.
The strong whites in the front overpower the background. I would have loved to see the back the same brightness and without shadows/texture as the front to make the details pop more.
I think if her hair were lighter so the only thing that really jumped out was the heart, I would like it better. Right now the hair steals the show in my opinion.
Nasty! But good job conveying the message. White on white is not easy but it looks like you pulled it off although on my monitor it looks like there might be some burned out areas.
The fiery red hair looks very good in this shot.
