Thanks! I'd rather say Pollock, though :)

I loved this one, weird it didn't get higher. Awesome work

And, you are the Da Vinci of painting with light.

The title fits quite well! Very Nice job of that... a bit of a generic conspiracy... that works well especially the very nice lighting.

The expression is perfect (along with the stripy socks). I like this one quite a bit. 7

Ha... funny picture. I keep looking more at those socks though than the foil head.

Excellent take on the challenge. I love the socks & the red glasses; your model captured a perfect look of paranoia.

Nice lighting, did you paint this one with light or how did you get that subtle lighting on the couch she is sitting on. Nicely done. However, this isn´t a breathtaking photograph so I "only" gave it a 7 but one of the better ones in the challenge.
