I have been sitting with this image in my queue for a few days now trying to figure out exactly what to say about it.

First of all, I have to say it is stunning & eye catching. The decision to make the skin so grey was definitely a good one because it allows the eyes, eye makeup, and lips to stand out & take charge of the photo.

Those eyes, they are so intense - at first I would say they are cold, but really they are just full of longing & power. They have a story that they are just not ready to relenquish yet.

Every tone is perfectly in place. To get such a high contrast photo in B&W is something that I am envious of. Usually my B&Ws lack contrast. Your photos obviously do not.

The depth of field is also wonderful & really makes your face stand out from the rest of your body. Your technique is something to be inspired by.

You are a great photographer, please keep up the amazing work & stick to your vision. It has not lead you astray so far.
