WOMEN WITH GLASS

THIS IS A BLACK AND WHITE HAND COLORED WITH PHOTO OILS.

It is not obvious this was handpainted. The colors are very washed out and there is almost no contrast. I like the photo itself, the catchlights in the eyes are great and so is the overall composition. But the flat washed out colors are a real negative in my opinion. Kind regards, m.

I think the photo itself is wonderful. Interesting woman, nice pose, nice framing, nice exposure great intensity etc. But the coloring to me tends to weaken all these strengths. Its a nice try to do that, but for me it doesn't work. Love to see the photo otherwise.
