like Chaplin said. We all love the picture to death but there is a weak spot in there its the lips. just some of it is a little bit rough. but lets get to the good things!! I love the way that you see only one side of her face and her eye makeup truly looks like it was done by a professional makeup artist!!! I love the soft look with the bold eyes. soft often goes well with soft and bold.

I know this is an older photo, but I hadn't seen this one yet.

This is beautiful! It reminds me of some of Dave LaChapelle's work with Amanda Lepore. Excellent work.

goodness, many comments already..

I believe that the sense of stillness was achieved, something about the position of the fingers perhaps.. maybe the hair, so doll like.

but, there is to much life to the skin.. the lips are the same color as the skin, but it appears the light is pentrating the skin more than it would a porcelin doll, bringing the image to life. but perhaps thats the point? I think the little mole/freckle(?) on your shoulder also adds to the livlyness of the image, especially since compositionally, its just past the hand, the the perpendicular direction to that which the fingers are pointed.

cool picture regardless, keep up the good work.

i love this...
i actually think you look fragile and scared.. so, for me the expression is great...
just would like to see it in b/w cause for me porcelain is even whitish then this, and it would look even more fragile or something but i guess you prefer colour, just as in the whole gallery

The touch of pink is what sets it all off.
Your lips look like they came right out of a cermic-doll mold...
I love all of the soft downward diagonals in the hair, in the makeup line, and in the shoulder
And the brown in yuor eye brings it all together...when you squint it is all you can see.

good work on the colours - I would have changed the expression though. Your face doesn't look fragile.

everyone keeps saying that. its starting to piss me off. they dont know what to think, honestly, i guess cause they havent seen anything like it? but there are things like it. but thats all they have to say "interesting" i feel like taking down the access of people commenting. but im all for constructive criticism.

champlin In reply to backlitstranger [2005-09-07 15:06:46 +0000 UTC]

well i think i got the effect right (judging from the title) that you were goin g for the antique doll look, which i think you achieved. i really like the colors, and the sort of clay-like texture of your lips. having said that, there is an air of ... vulnerability(?) that made me a little uncomfortable at first...but after a second look i like it. your camera angle and composition make this a photo you cant passively look at, but rather something which demands attention and response.

i like the concealer effect on the lips, gives it an authentic look as you would see on a real porcelain doll. also i agree with above, great concept.
