This piece is absolutely stunning! The viewer cannot look at this picture without being almost hypnotized by the haunting look in the subject's glare.
It is clearly obvious that The focus, along with the black and white contrast, and the lighting in her eyes were done on a professional level.
Absolute care was taken while creating this piece, and it shows, resulting in a breathtaking piece that leaves the viewer wondering "What has grabbed her attention so fiercely that I can't look away?"
The dark make up around the girl's eyes, as well as the intense stare fill the picture with absolute drama without having to show more than her face.
A beautiful model in a captivating photo, created by a talented artist, well done!

One of a splendid monochromatic portrait series, this piece has wonderful intensity. The contrast of deep shadows draws out the intensity of the subjects eyes, which are the focal point. Shallow depth of field enhances focus on the subject, and correctly uses the background shadows in a supporting role. Skin texture defines the subject wonderfully, as freckles, makeup and sweat give a reality to the face looking back at us. Imperfection is a mark of individuality and beauty...where fashion photographers may seek to minimize any blemish or any imperfection, the art photographer may use the skin as a statement of individuality and emotion to great effect. Design layout is spot on, the subject is confrontive in orientation, but anxious and defensive in expression... design dominates the frame of this powerfully expressive work, contrast is supportive, as is the focal length...to a fault. I wonder if the artist could've made a stronger statement if the second eye had been in clearer focus? Were this a studio photograph, with a photographer AND a model, I would say this was a fault. An active photographer has control of depth of field through the viewfinder, and can capture the split-second glimpse... but as an individual artist, working with a camera and creative vision, and less immediate feedback, I would hesitate to be critical. The strength of the artist's work is in knowing what she is looking for and her talent for expression and spontaneity, that make it happen on both sides of the camera at the same time. The photograph has a freshness and vitality that put it in a category by itself. The starkness and directness of this photograph, and the series, represent the artists most significant works to date, in a career that still very young. I look forward to many more wonderful works.

[link] esta persona esta cogiendo tu arte retocandolo y diciendo que son dibujos hechos por ella, lo encontre hace nada, al verlo pense, muy buen retato, lo ha dejado como el original, puesto que ya conocia tus fotos, luego me fijé mas y me di cuenta que es la misma foto pero retocada, ya que sus otras obras no tienen la misma calidad tecnica de dibujo como estas dos que tiene.
solo lo digo porque odio el robo de arte y te lo decia para que supieses que estan usando tu arte y modificandolo
