Stunning eyes and great pose. The ripped shorts, tattered shirt, and dirty body contrasts with the pure face. Great shot --- 9.

It's a very proficient shot, although totally unconvincing as a concept! I'm not sure if sepia works well here. I'd favour a subdued destauration of the colour shot.

If wildness is desired I don't think she'd stop to pose for the camera. A frantic, candid, or cowering figure would fit better.

Great contrast and interesting subject.

I'm not sure I get it. She has got dirt smeered on her to make her look wild but she has hair spray and eye makeup. Truely beautiful woman but I just don't understand the story that the photo is telling.

good idea, love the dirt on her face. i think it would have been better in color, giving it more life, and a better impression of the "wild"

some form of escapism at work , carefully muddied without messing up the eye make-up ... technically a good picture but the genre makes me cringe , stuck somewhere between being sexually alluring and a good portrait of a pretty woman - separating the two would be preferable in my opinion

Her expression doesn't say wild to me, but I like the composition and the idea. Tones might be just a tiny bit flat.

Good shot, pretty girl. nice BW
Good luck
(the dirt seems a little too make-up like, it's not in the right places, IMO, like knees, cheekbones, shoulder etc.)

I seem to remember a version of this with very strange eyes. This is better but I can't help feeling that I'm watching the Towering Inferno or Poseidon Adventure when glamorous actresses had a little bit of smudging applied to persuade the audience they had been involved in a disaster.

Interesting contrasts of rough and smooth. Beautiful lighting.

Terrific shot! I especially like the choice of tonality, which fits well with the brown earth. Really can't think of a way to improve upon this.

WOULD BE A GREAT SR. SHOT.

I think the special effects make-up has detracted from what would otherwise have been a clever portrait of an appealing subject. It was a 7 without the finger painting. 5.

Nice image, make me sit back and think of what is going on

Her eyes are very powerful in this photo, she looks great despite the state of her hair and the dirt on her skin, that's the power of her eyes.

Interesting, theres something very sexy about this image. I guess I just like my women a little dirty (pun fully intended I'm ashamed to say). Like the sepia here too. 8.

Composition: 9
Technical: 9
Appeal: 9
Challenge: 10
Overall Score: 9, (weighted)
Very nice shot - just a couple of things that take away from the concept: Seems out of place to have eye makeup, dirt smudges on chest and shoulder look hastily put there - should maybe feather the edges and the hair should be wilder. Still very appealing though!
