Hi,
If you wanted to create a 'horror film' type mood then I think you did great job. It is scary image that looks like it has a story associated with it.
Cheers,
Ade

Very Dark. A worrying image that, I agree, could have a story written around it. Everyone would have their own ideas for the story - lots of material. It wouldn't be a 'bedtime' story though! Her eyes arouse the pathos of her situation which seems hopeless; she's close to giving up: she's damaged, she's covered in dirt, damp and insects; it appears she's contained by glass. Her throat is at least going to be sore and someone has hit her hard on the cheek with a monkey wrench. She's got some colour so I guess she's still alive but the pathologist might get the chance of disputing that. If I write a book can I consider asking you for this to use on the cover??
Terrific work as always, and impossible to critique!
BUT, - I can express some preferences:
I like that greenish/yellow tone, and applied it lightly over the red face/lips, - too red for me.
I added space left and top.. and continued that fluorescent light through her head coming out on the left.
Eyes a little bigger, and some extrusion distortion on the right, with a contrast boost right side.
Its great to work on this shot, - such imagination, or were both completely crazy.

it has so many ways to look at this, the emotional whirl is excellent

Seems to me you have a clash of two styles here Dave. There's the flaking paint/skin and scratched overlay on the one hand, and then the rawness and reality of the face on the other. I'd personally prefer to see more of the flake overlay on the face itself, or less of the overlay on the neck .... one thing or another if you see what I mean. Personal opinion though.
I like the upper part a lot Dave, the flaking skin is less appealing for me. I think that DaveU gives a very good unbiased analysis directly above me. I go for the realistic side if this and would really like to see that photo, plain and simple as you took it, and post-processed in a more realist way. But that's personal taste, the best advice is DaveU's I guess.
Alice has been left waiting many centuries for his return
and maybe she wonders if he ever will!
She has been left battered, bruised, with wounds still weeping
Was her ear removed through self mutilation?
Im sure there is another clue in her ear but I cannot make sense of it yet... I see more in the top left quarter... reptilian?
The forground 'scratchy texture' is a vital clue to who Alice is searching for.
Regardless of my interpretation IMO this is a fantastic piece of art
The skin tones of her face are a perfect contrast to the background
The only part that doesnt work for me is the skin tone of her neck and the relative sharpness of the flake.
But then I ask myself... have I missed a point here?
Only you know Dave

Hiya ,
Brilliant advice , Thanks ,
I do like your mod Banehawi ! She seems scared to death now but I wasn't going to go that far , clever.
mmm , I think the problem I've got right now is not knowing when an image should stop being processed.
Daves spot on with the clash of styles and Henri also with its pure roots. I absolutely love pure clean intelligent photography. I also absolutely love extending the emotive and atmosphere with my kak.
Sure I wouldn't hang this apart from in the nightclub , just wondering why I cant seem to get a satisfying image.
Thanks so much.

Disturbing Dave. In a good way. Creative genius as usual.

I like the rawness to this Dave, there's more emotion in it for me. Again maybe its because the human face draws you in.
I like the effects you have used and the overlays, although I think you've used that cracked paint effect several times and it sort of spoils the creativeness when I see something I've seen in another one of your images. Sorry about that Dave, but I know you respect my honesty and I know you know its meant with a supportive heart.
I think your in touch with your mojo more so now than ever before!
Rock on Evanescence! Where's the new album eh?!
All the best,
Tony

For me the only change I'd contemplate would be to bring back a little of the flesh tone into the neck whilst keeping the texture overlay, particularly the crack/gash. The fraility of the flesh in the face of adversity combined with the still evident beauty and the seeking eyes is beautifully illustrated. The contrast between this girl, the concrete enclosure and the hint of green gardens beyond suggests of something better beyond. I hope Alice finds that garden.

Worrying..I don't even like looking at her...but somehow I can't let go.
Read the critique before I viewed the image. I think if the texture on the neck was blended in a little subtely it would work. And blended in a little more on her "ear" side. But then again it looks to me more like a reflection and this possibly wouldn't work. The first mod looks a little like Keanu Reeves. A little fake and plastic. Nobody does this type of work like you, keep it up.
Quote:Wow Ken , that's so cool a link !
Got the GSX 750 , but you corner so well . That squeeze to tell him to switch off his indicator , just sums up your precision ! Thanks mate.
Dave, I was actually telling him to slow down. I'd just past a speed camera
lol
Featured images can't be deleted.
it does get your attention as a E2 featured, her look just draws you right in
Decisions have been made !
you know..... what is so good about your images with people in them IMO
you dont seem to aim for any traditionality in eye contact or whatever, but you achieve it ....that gaze thingy you do .....
often mezmersising yet always haunting

A potent mix.
It looks to me as if the bug has just finished eating its way into her head after first munching away at her ear.
As usual you have produced a thought provoking image which like it or not packs a powerful punch.
Poor Alice.
