This and The Patient are outstanding work. Since you requested critique on both, I will post critique on both e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/sā€¦ " width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Smile)" />

I think the best in this picture is the model. I don't say because YOU are the model. I say it because this (as well as The Patient) are pictures where everything lies on the model's shoulder. Hence, the pose and the expression are everything, and seeing that amount of expression both in the face and the hands add a lot to the picture.

However, there are things that contribute to make this a work of art. Not only is the color palette terribly well chosen, but the cigar post process is flawless, and lends an immediate atmosphere to what's inside the frame. The wardrobe, while very basic, is extremely suggestive in it's own vintage way, and succeeds on setting a whole ambience that might have been lost if it weren't there.

A fantastic picture, with a great ambience, fantastic model and outstanding execution.

This is my new favourite picture in the world, something that changes fairly often, but methinks you will last SO much longer than other mere novelties, you're a stayer! And a local girl too.

You actually made a pun involving a post-rock band. I'm in shock.

Love the bad-ass face.

Great stuff - Sharon Stone meets Groucho Marx!
Composition, lighting, expression (and even the wisp of smoke)all top-notch.

venus-can99 [2009-07-12 05:05:25 +0000 UTC]

I like this photograph a lot. The screwed up (scrunched up) facial expression gives an impression (one interpretation IMHO) that you are telling someone off.

AntigenPhoto [2009-07-11 17:38:47 +0000 UTC]

I don't normally comment, but I really like this. The expression and pose are expressive (sounds repetitive, but there's plenty of unexpressive work out there) and dynamic. It's refreshing to someone that, while you still manage to be beautiful doing it, doesn't feel the urge to constantly post "pretty" pictures. I would have gone with monotone for coloring, because the end of the cigar is kind of distracting.

Great work!

Seems to be an acquired taste with some, but I just get sick of seeing the same poses and 'retty' expressions over again with models, so I occasionally pull something freaky, weird and slightly ugly. Some get it some don't. Thanks for getting it

Yeah I love screwed up, technically 'wrong' poses and unacceptable expressions. Not everyone does. Oh well thanks

You'll never get noticed doing the same tired shit everyone else does! Pretty models are a dime a dozen, pretty THINKING models are a rarity!
