Another fun day with oil paints and a camera! :) Experimented with indirect lighting... but since I don't have a studio I had to tame some of the lighting afterwards in editing.

Very unique and creative. The post processing was well done and very artistic.
Good work on the eye. Good you captured the texture of the face and did not lose it in processing.
I also think that the frame helped out quite a bit here hold the attention of the veiwer towrds the center. Where as without it, ones eyes would run up the arm and off the picture.
Very different from everything else. I almost didn't vote on this challenge, because I was expecting a lot of awesome and colorful pics that all looked the same after a while. Thank you for proving me wrong. A 10 and a fave for this
nicely done.. In mho if the picture had been cropped (leaving the hand being visible) it would have been great ...the nice concept and the colours add contrast .. and the eye draws the attention ..
Well done, I like this a lot. Especially since it's something very different from the majority of other entries. If I was to be picky (I hate being picky) I'd say that the hand is extremely prominent, maybe a bit more than I'd like. 9 from me.
Out of the box, totally creative and flat out a sure fire blue ribbon which is going to be very hard to do in this challenge. An incredible look into how a photorgrapher poses and stages an image meeting not only the challenge criteria, but the technical and artistic perfection necessary to produce an outstanding image. Simply an unbelivable effort on the part of the author. This could well be a shot that sits alongside some of the protrait greats. Well done.
Oh yes - almost went for this idea myself!!! Great minds .... anyway, couldn't think of an idea for the face art so went another route! Love the red black and white palette. Great.
