From an opulent body of passionate work celebrating female form with focused grace, the two face shots of Melissa Ann (melannc), Still, and Realized, taken as a set, deserve special mention and praise. In these simple and powerful photographs by Tommy Edwards, she gives us honesty, intensity and humanity in equal measure. Excellent color composition, contrast, the chaotic lines of hair, the moist texture, all come together to accentuate an ineffable truth that she can only share with us from deep within. These images would be at home in any fine museum. They serve to remind us that, when treated with the greatest care, there is no greater subject for human art than a human face. In any great portrait, there will be something greater, just behind what we can see. Taken in sequence, eyes down, and then penetratingly forward, delivers a final jolt of energy, leaving us breathless.
While I would not bother to critique any work I felt deserved an average of less than 3 stars, and I prefer to critique works I will rate highly, I would never lightly hand out a perfect score. In fact, I will only do so for works that, in my opinion, transcend categorized ratings. Today I will give out two perfect scores. That is unlikely to ever happen again. And I should note that, for me, these two must be taken as a single work to achieve transcendence.

LOL. ย Well my face was covered in water, and my body was covered in oil. ย I was trying to look somewhat peaceful, but I guess I failed.ย

Rather call it Serenity or Bliss - because that is what the expression suggests

I agree. ย I already have pictures with those titles though. ย So I have to keep thinking of new ones, and I don't always put a lot of time into it. ย
