Critique by *ErrantCrow Jan 14, 2012, 1:31:04 PM

When you realize you've been staring at her neck and wrists, trying to figure out where suit ends and the skin begins, *zenibyfajnie has got you. With her dripping red halo, she also makes you question where the line between reality and fakery lies. Is that her real skin color? Is the white jaw good makeup? Good photo-editing? Both? It would almost be disappointing to find out the truth. I like the mystery wrapped around this woman.

Technically, the piece is flawless, and that's not even counting the post-editing. The strong S-curve pose and subtle balance of cool blues against the violent reds up top make "the cold from the still warm body" intriguing before you get close enough to puzzle over the details. This image is striking as a thumbnail, but I wouldn't say no to a floor to ceiling print!

Happy Viewing,
E.c.

In a word, Perfect.

Contours of the pose are somehow fluidly sharp; entices the eye. The layers of shading and segue of colour are narcosis,
and the ink is a beautifully bloody stain of relfection.

Amazing.
