Black hat, pearls, & smoke

Wonderful work.

I have viewed both versions and this is my pick and the one I did enjoy most although the b/w one still all ok, I like the effect of the low key working with the colors remarkably, the skin one is very well brought up and the face details, the lipstick color also add a great impact here when joined with the rest colors and one.

The fake did add the dramatical atmosphere although it is a hobbit I do not recommend at all.

I am not sure about the shade on the left side of the eye if this is excepable wih low key or not, other wise I have enjoyed viewing this work a lot.

Thank you for sharing it and wishing you all of the best.
