| I know this has been here a while, but it really grabbed my attention. I thought it was real at first, and then thought it had to be makeup. So well done! It is disturbing and yet powerful. So glad you had the description under it. |

| I absolutly love this. The realism in the stitches and the apathetic gaze are wonderful. |

| grotesque! too realistic looking! great capture of emotion. being in black and white helps add impact on the effect of the photo. |

| Framing is great and those hollow eyes really do it for me. Well conceived and executed. Should have ribboned for its striking concept alone. |

thankyou for all the comments :)
the blown out highlights on the face were very deliberate, just my taste. (do notice that i didn't leave them at full white, but brought them down a few figures to a lighter white grey.) |

| Brave. Very strong with convincing stiches and a broad range of political overtones. I don't want to look at it, though. |
|

03/07/2004 01:49:41 PM |
My favourite!
I woner how you did the stiches??
I hope you get a ribbon... it's much better than all the "shhhh" photos! ;)
I give you 9 |

| Somewhat disturbing but also rather mesmeric. The angle and close up creates a strong composition. Harsh lighting and high contrast suit the subject. 8 |

| Be sure to give your makeup dept. my compliments. ;) Certainly a different slant than using duct tape. Funky eye-socket shadows look strangely amped up. |

| Wow... very powerful. The only negative I have is that its a little bright in areas... but still. 10. |

| Intense artistic statement. My highest rated picture. Brave, bold crop and composition. I like the dark eyes as well. WoW! |

| Nice photo. A little gruesome... I think the darkness of the eyes adds to the feel of the photo. Good job. |
|
|
|
03/04/2004 03:02:40 PM |
| This is a great shot, wish there was a touch more detail in the eyes, never the less I think this should be a winner. Interested to know how you created the stiched effect. Is the model into piercing? |
|
|
|
03/04/2004 02:00:50 PM |
| Love the crop and color and idea as a whole, but the blown-out areas on the face really take away from the detail which would've be awesome to see. 5. |

| 7 for being daring and disturbing taking it to the edge |

| cool concept.. great contrast.. I love this in black and white - The eyes are beautiful - excellent - 10. This is my favorite of the challenge - and I will add this to my favorites after the challenge is through. |

| Strangely, I like this photo. Curious what's used to give the sewn shut look, good color, nice crop! |
|
|
|
03/03/2004 10:12:38 PM |
| I like this photo and I think it's a good idea. The picture isn't gruesome, sort of shocking. But it's nicely shot. The only thing I would point out is the blowout around the nose and cheek. |
|

| I love the black in the eyes. Very disturbing picture |

| Very upsetting - lots of people seem to be doing this to themselves around the world these days. I understand the impetus but its sad to me that it's turned inward instead of outward. I'd rather see violence in the streets in protest than violence against ourselves. - 6 |

| I'm not sure which is more disturbing; the fact that I can't see her eyes appear missing or that someone has sown her lips shut. I shiver. Well done, but egads! |
|
|
|
03/03/2004 12:07:28 PM |
| Yeowch! This totally creeps me out (but doesn't take points off, though). It delivers an impact and fits the theme perfectly. The picture being in black and white helps reinforce the impact further, I think. Would love to know how this was done. |

Ow ow ow ow ow!!
Don't you ever ask me to model for you!!!
Great idea & photo. A few more stitches perhaps. |

| I din´t like the idea of taping the mouth like many people did here but this is something else... I like it. Also how you frame it.. 8 points |

| ouch... i don't know if it is real.. but it looks real.. and looks painful.. strong image, it is a little blasted out on the cheek, but it DOES look purposful .. same with the darks.. but i will give you the benefit of the doubt.. and support your art (as i have a feeling others will blast you with low scores..)... good input... disturbing. |
