Lucretia Borgia

Hi Christine,

Thanks for sharing.  I typically avoid commenting on digital alteration images, but this one is too fun to pass up.  I really like the expression on her face, the vignetting, the costuming, and the sepia(?) toning.  It has a very playful charm to it.  I like the idea of the skeleton hand, but there's something about it that's incongruous.  I think it may be the angle.  From the cuff it loos like her left arm, but the bones show it the right.  Also, they look a bit too "new" maybe add some tones/grittyness to it (not zombie-like, just a more natural look).   There's something behind her left ear that doesn't seem to fit.  Finally, I think i'd either remove the single-dot specular highlights in her eyes or add them in as if she were lit by a large framed window.

Overall an enjoyable image.  Thanks!
