The composition, light and focus are very good. I don't think keeping the color of the tattoo and making the rest sepia was a particularly good idea, I think it should have all been sepia. Also I find the turn of the head somewhat uncomfortable, she is obviously straining to look into the camera, and it goes against the soft and relaxed feel of the overall scene. I would prefer if she looked more forward, so we would only see maybe 1/4 of her face
I know this isn't the time but the word corp doesn't exist in the french language. It is spelled corps. Even the phrase you used isn't proper french but this is art so anything goes. right? :)
Absolutly beautiful coloring here. I like the speia-but-somehow-not look. Not much of a fan of the framing; I would like to see this in thirds. Great model. 6
the tattoo or body painting almost doesn't appear to wrap around her body - odd effect - maybe to do with some selective colour changes? Almost looks to be floating on her back.
I like the artwork and I like the sepia tone. I also like how you left the artwork in B&W which makes it pop. I'm not positive about the model's expression. Looks a little too angry, but that's just me. 7
Notwithstanding the title, most people are going to look at the girl before the body art. You've got the girl in soft focus and the art in sharp focus. It somehow doesn't quite feel comfortable. Just a thought - good luck
Spectacular & surreal! There is a lot I find appealing in this composition - particularly her pose, the scene & the duo-tone treatment. The way the design pops is at first very delightful, but then it makes you question whether it's real or not which, I confess, detracts a little. Very nice, nonetheless -- 8 --
too much sharpening on the painting - where her body is already OOF, the painting is still tack sharp - that looks strange. other than that a very nice shot in the early 20th century style
