The photo is simply fantastic!!!! especially the positioning of the lights Wow! it explains the overall drama of this composition. Darkness, mystery, surrealism, mixed cultures, revenge etc. great execution. Yup i wont forget this! because this has to be the money shot! the colors are well balanced all throughout and the persona of the model suits very well with the combined outfit used. i was amazed by the kimono all together with a coolie hat. its like a culture mashup of japan and vietnam, awesome! and lastly her eyes very expressive and serious like an assassin. Well i guess the only thing i noticed is that the photo is well proportioned and centered, maybe just maybe if it has more room it could have been top notch, but yah its just my opinion

This is a truly amazing photo, in fact, I find it hard to see anything you could improve on. I could see this photo being the cover for a movie.The mood and theme is projected well through the darkness and the subtle lighting on her and highlights her facial features perfectly also drawing more emphasis to the symmetry which has such a visual impact. I love the touch of smoke behind the subject and background doest distract from the subject.
I also like how your signature doesn't get in the way of the photo which is such a relief to see.
The fashion works perfectly and is accented nicely by the light, I found myself staring at the kimono(?) for about 10 minutes.
I love the sinister look she is portraying through her eyes and I can really imagine her saying "You wont forget".
Perhaps I would have added a bit more light to her face (very little though) but otherwise this a thoroughly successful photo which definitely deserves a DD.

The good thing about post-modernism is that anything you do is culturally valid.

Is this another one of your amazing works? Or maybe you are just "practicing" with your talented hands and eyes, and maybe, lips?

This is such... an ill informed mix match of cultural anecdotes.
Seriously... I don't mean to sound...well... offensive or anything... but... well, the picture is gorgeously done and it probably looks very pleasing to people who has next to no knowledge on Asian and its hundreds of cultures and their differences (and why mixing som of them is sometimes a bad idea). I obviously can't say anything about technique, lighting and such. You're the professional here and I'm not even going to delude myself...
.... I get that all things Asian are exotic and sought-after these days in the Western hemisphere of the world.... but... I can't help but wince whenever something like this comes up... because it might look cool and exotic and stuff to some people... but to bonafide Asians living in Asia, it looks... well... un-educated is one way to put it, as well as clownish and various other things and to some more extreme older generations, this would look culturally and historically offensive (because the cultural puzzle pieces you have on there came from countries that has been at war in the past... and there is tension still... right now). I get that sometimes cultural accuracy is glossed over for aesthetic appeal... but all of the things the model wore have very specific meaning to them in Asia culture, the robe, the colors of it, even the cloth used and the embroidery on it, the cone hat (which is actually the Non La from Vietnam, worn exclusively by Vietnamese farmers and peasants and such... not a curious object as it's depicted here). And combined, this pic speaks to me very different things that what it speaks to others. What am I supposed to get out of this pic? That some girl who wears a Chinese-Japanese mixed robe also likes to put on a Vietnamese hat on her obviously not Chinese/Japanese/Vietnamese head.
I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. I must sound like an ass (and I don't deny that I can be an ass over things like this. But on the other hand, it's my cultural heritage and I claim the right of it). It's nothing personal really, I also get like this with movies like Kungfu Panda (which to many of us Asians in Asia... is just kinda horribly hilarious for a completely different reasons because of the cultural subtexts it bears).
Just... I don't know, ignore me really. Pet peeve and all.

Thanks. It really doesn't look much different. More saturated colours and less contrast.
