Wonderful contrasts, textures and color combined with a powerful graphic design.

Dark, brooding & wonderful, with terrific mood and texture. The rough wall against the smooth skin and the surprise sensuality of the lips are great. I just love this image.

I accept the color combination

I like it! Just off-center enough to add some imbalance, subtle but almost alien lighting and good detail, even in the dark cloth.

 

Was it hand coloured, or did you just use coloured light sources?

I already wrote a comment about this imahe yesterday, but the computer hang half way... Fated...:-)

Anyway, I like it a lot. It's a powerful image, really. A few small things aesthetically though... 1) I'd suggest you burn the background near the edges, in order to leave a brighter circle only behind the head and a bit above... 2) I suggest you desaturate the colors slightly. On the background, just a tad, and a bit more desaturation on the chest. Otherwise very good, an very original. Regards.

Impressive work !

it's just fantastic to see how you've progressed in the year or so that we've been seeing your work here. this is really a beautiful image. lighting, pose, model, colors, everything just comes together fabulously!

dare I ask how you manage to get those colours?

The Executioner ........... deadly ..... (-;

I love it. Period.

this unusual way of composing adds to the air of mystery in the pic. good.

Another beauty. I want the face to fill more frame but otherwise excelent.

color burn only ;)

I keep looking at the lips to guess what the eyes are like. Very, very interesting. The best in this portfolio.

It doesn't do a thing for me, but I'm obviously in the minority. The background is cool though.

very mysterious and appealing, nice work. just a little too off-centre in my opinion.

I was attracted to the lovely colors and composition. Everything works except that I think it is essential in a fine art portrait to see at least one provactive eye. I would have gone from a 5 to a 7 if that was present here.

Very engaging image.

Very good .

I like it...

one of my favorite of yours. great texture and tones
