| I think you should try it again, if he will let you. All that's wrong with this is it looks tentative. IMHO. One of those smooth-on, peel-off beauty masks would protect his skin from the dye in the face-paint. Pose him against a white BG that matches his eye-whites, & don't let his natural skin color show. Maybe work out your lighting in advance to light the black separately from the red. Later, you can work it up to look like a cover for Rolling Stone Magazine or something. "D |

| Very bizarre image. I'm sure it carries a strong message for you. |

| I think I get what you are going for here, but the lighting doesn't really serve your purpose. I like how you've kept good detail in the eyes, though. |

| Sorry, but I find this photo rather unappealing and disturbing to look at. |

| Full props for going the make-up route, but the lighting needs some work. Based on the reflection in the eyes, it's an 8-dollar Home Depot special. |

| The lighting appears to be a little flat and some detail has been lost in the forehead area. Still, this image has a slightly disturbing (and compelling) element to it that I can't quite explain. It might have to do with the very direct stare and the paint running down the neck. . . |

| Sorry, I don't get it. The eyes are piercing, yes, but wouldn't they still have been without the mess? In an all-black field, maybe? Don't see the need for the red. |

| It must have been some party! The eyes need to be "more" I feel, at the moment the red/black contrast overpowers them, the nose is also "lost" in the black |
