 The piano is a big part of my life so I added this great subject to my portrait. Thanks to my husband Transit who did my make-up, and for taking the piano action out of my antique grand piano for the shot (very heavy). I think the picture reflects me. Hope you like it.

Not a fan. Face paint is generally kind of scary.
 05/23/2006 12:12:31 AM
when the image first started to open, I thought of the Koshare kachina dolls, with white and black stripes. I like it much better with the keyboard, though! ;)

Creative, surreal and very interesting. Opens up questions. I would love to read your thoughts about this self portrait after the challenge.

Judy, that you? Love the makeup, great idea and pretty well executed. Just wish the shadow part of your face was just a little bit brigher, still in shadow but discernible. 7 from me.

Clever idea, unusual and (presumably) tells something of your interests. More light on the (real) keyboard to match the whites of the face paint would work better for me.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

One of my favorite photos. It's a very stylistic shot...conveys an attraction to the personality of the model as well as to her appearance. There is character and depth to this portrait. The picture makes me want to get to know the person inside.

Technically, a well-made photo. Good use of light too. Very well done.

Great idea and great make-up! I love the lighting.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 05/19/2006 03:57:23 AM
Thats very good. I'm wondering how it would've looked if you had've lit the other side of your face instead.

Uber-Artistic! Extra points for effort-- oops, already max'd out on the scale. :) Great work!
