This I feel is one of the better portraits in the challenge. The clarity of the model as well as the light balance is well done. However the dramatic addition of the coloured paint is a wonderful element which draws stronger interest.
I was hoping the title would tell me why this beautiful model, who is perfectly lit and wonderfully photographed, is covered in purple paint for some odd reason that doesn't make sense to me without explaination. Pefect focus and beautiful eyes... it's just that paint... for no reason that I can think of... *sigh* (not voting)
