I have been sitting with this image in my queue for a few days now trying to figure out exactly what to say about it.
First of all, I have to say it is stunning & eye catching. The decision to make the skin so grey was definitely a good one because it allows the eyes, eye makeup, and lips to stand out & take charge of the photo.
Those eyes, they are so intense - at first I would say they are cold, but really they are just full of longing & power. They have a story that they are just not ready to relenquish yet.
Every tone is perfectly in place. To get such a high contrast photo in B&W is something that I am envious of. Usually my B&Ws lack contrast. Your photos obviously do not.
The depth of field is also wonderful & really makes your face stand out from the rest of your body. Your technique is something to be inspired by.
You are a great photographer, please keep up the amazing work & stick to your vision. It has not lead you astray so far.

If I came across this face in alley way I would probably turn tail and go the other way. This picture is amazing, its expressive, dark, yet enticing. You want to see whats crawling in her mind yet from the expression she holds, you're not sure you want to take the risk. She's beautiful and all around wonderful shot.

Entrancing and hypnotizing. I don't think I've ever seen better portraits than those created by yourself. You have totally made my week, so thankyou.

I love how the eyes sort of say "I'll eat you alive" Not in a sexual way but in a fierce cannibalistic way. It's awesome

It's very nice. I love the way you chose to represent the geisha. As if she is so pale you can only see color in her eyes, lips and those red stripes (tears?).

This is stunning. Very intense and powerful. I love the way you have used colour and... slight oddities? (if that makes any sense) to define the character in the picture. Beautiful work.
