as always - outstanding. voted highly.
the eyes seem a bit too white - but that maybe caused by the stark contrast against the clay...

I like the mud layer, adds texture, the tones are great, they draw focus to your eyes. A overall well image, still a 9, but really close to 10 :)

| This is, by far, the best of the challenge. This receives my highest marks in everything. The body paint is a great texture and the tone compliments the mood perfectly. The lighting is great as I can see it was probably done with a large softbox judging by the catchlights in your eye. The DOF is really striking and makes the shot nearly three dimensional in relationship to the angle at which it was taken. This is a WOW in my book and an immediate favorite. I am at a little bit of a loss for words because I really think that this is a superb photograph. Congratulations on a fine job --- you are inspiring... :::(rolls tongue back into mouth)::: |

| Man, you are REALLY into these challenges if you'll do this for a challenge. (I think I could talk someone ELSE into it, but oy, that mud in my moustache is irritating!) Amazingly well done as well. 10 |
