 This is one of my favourite shots of my first ever photo session with a model. The girl is my friend Kristina who is doing Italian with me in Italy. The make up is her own, it's shot in her house and lit using 4 candles and a desk lamp.

p.p - Not much really, convert from RAW, curves, brightness/contrast, resize, sharpen save for web.

Well captured. Love how the hair really frames the face.

This is an interesting picture, but I do not see how this fits with the challenge, besides the title. I do like how you captured her eyes.

has a creepy feel to it. the lighting on her face adds to the feel, esp as the light is reflected in her eyes. your drawn to the eyes immideantly.

I have never seen a gypsy look like this before. The colours are warm adn details in teh background are clear. I think that the look may hinder you as most people have a different image of a gypsy than you are depicting.
