Lighting: way too harsh with just a touch of a color cast.
Pose: I do not care for the stare.
Background: n/a

Interesting effect -- I'd like to see the lighting a little more even on the eyes. Reminds me of a Joni Mitchell album cover.

OK, that's just scary. I admire your daring approach, but it's just too over the top for me. Not quite the "formal studio portrait" that I think many are expecting here. It might have worked better with a good exposure turned into a duotone, but this looks like it's reversed and solarized and the result is... well, weird.

This image is just a bit to artsy for my taste, especially when considering a color studio portrait...it isn't really what comes to mind. Interesting lighting and effect, however. :o)

Wish I could see the rest of the model's face, perhaps that will help give the picture some expression? The lighting/color doesn't agree with me (in my opinion, anyway) - less blue might be better. The picture gives out a nice surreal feeling - the reddish highlight in the eyes helped reinforce this. Very creative!

Too much with the color. Sorry.

Abstract doesn't really strike me as something to expect in portrait shots, but I hope you have achieved exactly the results you are looking for.

Interesting and unusual, but does not make me terribly excited.

Very spooky, very different.

maybe just a touch too much photoshop to this one :) This person doesn't look human.

whoa...nice effect. More of a facial shot then a studio shot.

too weird for words

This isnt really what I expected from a "formal colour studio portrait" . Sorry but this is neither flattering to your model or interesting to the viewer.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Not what I would consider a formal studio portrait, but it is definitely an interesting photograph. I'm curious as to how you achieved the shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Interesting idea but I think you might have been better off leaving it with the natural lighting. The negative image on this is really distracting and hard to look at for very long. I like the set up and the way the face fills the shot but the post processing really hurt this one for me. A 4

Nice attempt.
I don't think it quite works
nice shot though

Sorry but this is not a very pleasing portrait.

too overprocessed. Doesn't add to the portrait.

Therianthrohy? She/he looks like a leopard with the spots and the cat eyes.

I realy don't like this blue light. I think that blue and red colors are the worst colors for lightning faces.

This is really just weird and unappealing. I don't mind overmanipulated portraits like this but there isn't anything to creative at work here--it just looks like you did some radical hue adjustments in selective color.

kinda scary, looks like she's been out in the sun too long, like it though, very different, points for that

I never have and probably never will truly appreciate these overprocessed, psychedelic looking shots...
