 As I am not doing well on challenges, I just wanted to have fun and do something I wanted to do for long... Paint me! and as blue is my favorite color... 1+1=this...
Adjusted levels, contrast, clon, selective correction, more levels, crop, and I think that`s all...

Thank you for your comments.. And no, it was not hard to take the paint off, it`s a washable for kids paint ;)

I would give this an even higher rating without the highlights on the paint under her eye. I really like the idea and the sharpness of the image.

I like the way the eye stands out from the rest of the image.

Best angle and expression of the face shots in this challenge. My first vite was 8. Then 9. And it kept grabbing me from the main voting page. Now it's 10 and my favorite to win. And going in my favorites.

Cool! Bet this was hard to get off, bumping from 9 to 10.

Haha, how long did it take your model to get all that off? I love the image, looking back is cool. Great job! Only thing I think would have helped would have been to get a more uniform texture along the nose and a catch-light in the eye. By more uniform along the nose, I mean that it's texture would match what is under the eye.

I'm not into "people" shots, but I do like this one for some reason.

Pros: those blue eyes really make the shot. Texture of the paint on the skin really nice. I like the highlight under the eye. Like the dof.

Cons: The little bit of the other eye that is showing, and the eyebrow, detract from the shot. Would like to see all of the main eyebrow, and if you had painted or powdered it a lighter shade of blue as well that really would have sex'd it up. As this was advanced editing, another thing that could really have added some spark would be to either get rid of the veins in the eye or else tint the white part of the eye a light shade of blue as well.
