Crikey thats lost loads on upload, thank you both for commenting.
I think this is great. Partly you seem to have gotten it right (and even better). The tones look better, sharpness is great. Yours looks more like a color shot, whereas the link-photo looks more like sepia tinted. The link shot is extremely funny though. first I thought the photo was stretched, but I guess it's not.
Yep, original in the mod section, she's not really scary its just I'm trying to get that Polish technique and thought I had it but its lost loads on upload and I know I'm no where near yet but thought this might be a pointer in the right direction...
usual excellent quality

Not a bad attempt, K.
Andrzej Dragan's work is amazing - I've been a fan of his ever since I saw it last year.
Cheers, Paul

Now THIS is what you should be doing more often! Great skin texture and expression. Really like it.
very good, great expression!
I am literally laughing out loud! The technique has definitely works for me. I didn't know you had two daughters... a good one and a bad one!

Good work - I had a go at a mod for fun 
lol Patrick! Thats a good one Steve, thanks for that. Thanks for all the comments folks. K.
I like Steve's mod, the eyes are better. V interesting to see different attempts.
very near indeed k. the technique most obvious to me in the reference pic is created by dodge/burn tools, or burned layer blending on a light sepia toned image.
this is such a cute picture i had to play with it- be prepared...
edit: the hilites on the skin tone in this one are hotter so there is less material to burn. i uploaded one of those mods too. thanks

God those mods are good! Thank you all so much for taking the time to do those, and everyone for all the comments, its really exciting. I only spent 5 mins using levels, mid tone contrast adjustments, some dodge but mostly burn, didnt add any layers but boy is this one going to get played with, thank you all again sooooo much K.

Yes, some great mods - its cool to see how other folk do this. And here's one more I couldn't possible explain how I did it all but if you like and want the .psd file you are welcome.

Seen the mods... think your version still stands. Some mods perhaps bring out the eyes better, but loose on other areas. And the paint/skin loosing mod is a real winner, but as a different approach.
excellent ...... done a few mods ....bleedin scary tho ....hope your well
LOL Fred, those mods are dangerous! Thanks very much everyone for all the trouble you took over the mods, appreciate all of them and all the advice K.

stunning portrait - i love the dark style and the face is full of expression. it works especially well on the large version. soon as it opens the strength of the pulling power draws the viewer in.
if i knew enough people i would love to do a range of dark portrait work myself
keep up the beautiful work =)

Thank you Andrew, I hope you did. K.
Hi, It's been a while since I've had a look through your portfolio and I'm glad to see you've posted a few cracking shots since then.
This one really stands out for me, the expression, the framing and the finer detail in the hair and the texture and tones on the skin.
I'd love to be able to get a shot like this.

Emotion seems to simply pour off this image, superb
