Great subtle use of PS. The texture grabs you first, mainly complimented by the lighting. The facial expression gives off real emotion, and the tribal painting seems so RAW

Interesting. I like the textures. I would have either cropped the hair out of the upper right-hand corner or covered it. Its about the only thing that distracts from the feel I can see. Nicely done.

i know i been slacking off and its been awhile sense ive commented on your work so be prepared for a onslot of comments as i try and cetch up
with that said on to the pictures.
the angle of pose in this is great and the way you took the picture so close, to me really sets it up showing the texture of the paint this can be takin many difrent ways in some ways it reminds me of a voodoo witch doctor but more so it reminds me of masks. and that saying that we all wear masks to hide what is inside us we dont want others to see. which is brought out more from the expresion in the photo. thats just what i got from it anyways.

Love the composition here...and the fact that no eye is staring directly at me. Nice expression on the face, great contrast between the paint and the black space at the bottom. Just great!

Like the detail of this picture
Like the b&w that makes me wonder witch color you use
like the calm expression afther the war...

:whatever everybody else said:
......just joking. Anyways, I personally prefer this one, because it leaves a lot to your own thoughts. At the same time, you wonder what the model is thinking. The detail of the skin is great. Lighting is perfect. And because of the sepia and black background, it goes well with your title. All in all, Keep working hard as always.

I like the delicate fade to black and the rich textures of this work. Nicely done!

You sure have a nack for B&W (or color for that matter) studio style shots...something I could never do worth a shit. great job here

you've captured the textures here very well. I really like the soft feel this has. even through the mask , one can still see the emotion hidden behind the paint.
I love your new pieces. great work. keep 'em up = ]

What I wanted to show you was a portrait by Alastair Thain, you may have seen it... I can't locate it.
Sorry.
I should have mentioned that I love these.
They are so different, this from your last one.

Very moody, I love the facial expression. Great texture from the paint as well. Fab

hmm ... what a hard choice ... forward and fearless, almost curious ... or quiet, melancholy ... *ponders the decision*
you do some amazing things, ya know?
π: 0 β©: 0
Both of them excel in their own different way.
While the first is impressive for its straight-shooter first impression, this one makes me reflect about your posture. A melancholic posture.
Filled with emotions.
The sadness of the character makes me think that maybe Death needs a vacation from her usual job.

gorgeous work. very subdued.
i'm enjoying the series.

Wonderful portrait - reminds me a bit of tribal facepainting and the calm before they go to war...you're not going to war, are you?
Indeed a very fresh portrait - far from the norm that is reoccuring here and making portrait shots so boring (most of the time).
The toning gives it this dark, melancholic feel.
Wicked piece!

It's certainly less confrontational than the first - and probably a better shot for it. In addition to the epic lighting, there's also some amazing detail in there as well.
Another excellent bit of work.

Yeah... i think this one is stronger for some reason.. maybe its just people relate with somber and nostagia more. I do miss the eye, but I feel this one is just stronger. Have one in this pose with eyes slightly open?
π: 0 β©: 0
Yes.
definitely farther this series.
The scream one should be a series as well.
Nice work from you lately.

Caroline, wow I do like this one more then the first as well.. it has a softer more sensitve look to it .. tugs at the heart ,, so much expression and feeling,
Wonderful !!

I totally agree with you ... this one is much more subtle, and its emotion creeps up on you, rather than punches you in the face (a la the first one). I do like this much better ... it's much more reflective, introspective, and mellow (I don't know if that's the word I'm looking for, but you get me). Again, the contrast is impeccable here ... excellent execution. Envy!

yes, agree with you about this and the first one... this one need some time to start working... but then, it is wonderfull photo. love that rythm of lines across the face

I really like this one. Very sad, emotional. Nice toning Gorgeous

Woa nelly.
This was even better. Sepia can do wonders
(if you don't overuse it like I used to do)
Think I'm gonna fav this.
Reminds me of the work by Misha Gordin. At
least the faces.

Wow, this is so stunning. I picture an actor on stage out for his final performance of a life time. Or maybe some kind of spirit feeling sad for the loss of his host. Either way, it's fantastic

Yes..I definitely like this one much better, it's more subtle and less straight in yer face. Everything is just more toned down and that suits the subject of the photo much more..
What exactly is a overlay layer though and what does it do to an image? Yeah, I know practically nothing about Photoshop, heh.

This is my fav...Great portrait,Caroline.

very dramatic...with the angle, the tone, and the pose. the composition and details are great also.
π: 0 β©: 0
wow.. amazing... i love the composition and the angle... and really loved that i can see the texture of the paint on the face.... reminds me of sad clowns... not that clowns that have sad face paint, but that clowns are sad, even if their face smiles.... good job...

π: 0 β©: 0
I've gotta agree. This has a softness to it. Subtle...the emotions are showing quite well in this.
Much better than the first. So good, I'm not even gonna make a smarta$$ comment.
