nudes (can be disturbing or 'challenging') stare

Her / His face makes an impression--that's given--but what

impression is it? Disregarding the low quality background

(distracting wrinkles etc), is it a good portrait?

The expression is a complete choas of self identity. Looked at them all and theres 2 good ones in my view, this being one. Once you get by the "Tiny Tim revealed" shockwave, the mood is visable but the strong lighting seems to drown it out. Has originality for sure. Most photographers are pretty sure of the sex they are shooting but you seem to have missed that or choose to add more mystery to the statement. Is there a future in shooting this freakish stuff?...not to me but its your bag. 4/6

Hi Paul, which is the second of the two good ones? -- couldn't find any other rating or comment of yours.
