COLORS ARE ALMOST IDENTICAL. GREAT USE OF THE CONTRAST

Interesting effect, how did you light it to get this high key?

I like the composition a lot just not the harsh glare or over-sharpening as much. I think framing needs to include the entire eye of the peacock feather and a little more room around the subject's eye. The glare is detracting from the similar colors of the feather and eye makeup.

Too much of something can be a bad thing. I find the contrast excessive in this case. Is it because the image was initially over-exposed?

I also wonder he effect my have been more dramatic if you also cropped out half of the face instead of part of one eye.

Very artistic and I love the wash out. Perhaps a little more work on the pupils, maybe a bit of burn would have made this even better for me. Overall, I like this - 8
