Furred Up

The look of... well... what do you see?

Feedback appreciated.

The contrast of her dark hair and the white fur is wonderful, especially against the neutral background. What really makes this work is her eyes. You have captured them beautifully.

I have to agree that her eyes are wonderful. I am glad that you like this. I may have to post more photos of this model. Thanks.

My sincere apologies, when rating this image my young daughter shouted in a panicked voice and my finger was hovering over the trackpad and i inadvertently pressed the 3 button in lieu of the 5 i was going to offer.

My only crit is that i am never sure on images like this where the mouth is virtually covered and its only the models eyes to work with, whilst the eyes are the true windows to our souls, the mouths are the essence and being of our sexuality and ability to live.

Thanks for the comment. Ratings can be changed by the way... not that I pay much attention to ratings. I have never heard the theory you put forward on mouths. I have been aware of that theory in regard to lips. I do feel there is enough of her lip in this image to give and feeling you might want to see in this. Thanks a lot.

I have to side with Mark, The Eyes Have It. The tonal range works as well.

The windows of the soul thank you.

Nice and sweet portrait, my dear David!

I think we should all be thankful for our subjects. Thanks.

Covering up the mouth seems to automatically divert the viewers attention to the eyes, and the ploy works perfectly as they are so expressive, and not without a certian amount of trepidation.

Compliments!
