This is a very original approach of the theme you developed pretty well.
The idea of progress in the drawing is very well shown. It was a very important point: it makes the viewer get your point easily.
Now, a major problem with this entry in my opinion is that the last image of the trio should have been the original picture. Because otherwise what you're showing here is a pure digital art creation which has nothing to do with photography. For example the technical details of the original shot are displayed here, but have no sense!
I often ask myself this question when looking at my pictures: could I have done this without a camera? If the answer is yes, then it means it is not photography.
But once again, this is a great original digital art creation perfectly executed. The thing is it does not qualify as a photography in my opinion.

looks like digital art and not photography

The thing that really bothers me in this trio is the fact that there is a part in her hair/head piece that looks like a deformed childs face. I saw it as it was loading and was trying to figure out exactly what it was, and now I can't take my eyes away from it to enjoy the rest of the photo. Strange how something small things can just totally make or break a shot. The model is pretty, and the angle on the model is nice, and it does tell a story, but that face bothers me. lol. Sorry. ~Heather~

I really like the way you did this composition, very artistically done.

I like the first frame, but I think the other two are less effective. I think this concept would be better illustrated if the final frame were a normal looking portrait, as this one still ends up looking unfinished.

Is the face appearing in the hair on purpose? These three views do show an interesting evolution of the image, but the manipulations take the images a long way from photographic. I like the first cell best, I find it interesting how the facial lines seem most appearant in the starkest view. 7 Rob the Swash

I like the use of PS filters here (photocopy? + ?)
