omfg... what the heck is going on here please? And for the love of everything sweet and holy, why? Why the pink flower in the hair? It so clashes with the flip flops... :O

Sorry, that's not very helpful. Ok, background motion blur issues? I can't see much, if any, difference. A fun sequence put together very smoothly.

Am I Trapped In My Sins?

Oh my, into the realms of nightmares. A dark horror. Disturbing but I cannot look away.

Back to view yet again. How many times have I been here? I don't know, I haven't slept since the first time I saw it. Many thoughts screaming in my head. What are the sins? Vanity? Lust? The title messes with my mind. It's wrong somehow. "Trapped" seems to mock the work as does posing the question. Bound maybe, even seduced. Oh yes, it's a seduction, enveloping me. I'm rambling now. Be afraid, I may come back ;)

Wonderful imagination at work here. The interaction between the elements have already been touched upon, but if you ask me, that man is about to do something impulsive, unexpected. The tension is palpable.

A Trio of Looks

What a cutie :) Those expressions are gold. You've used window light (with a bit of fill on the left there?) much to your advantage here and I feel as though I'm there, peeking up over the table at him. Playing peek-a-boo to try and garner a smile perhaps? Nice work. But Tim, I gotta be honest, I don't like the vertical arrangement, particularly with so much of the table-side showing. Thick black bars that steal the show. Not sure if it's just an optical illusion, but it looks like three different thicknesses also. Sorry to go on about that aspect, but for me, it's pretty hard to ignore, and that's a shame :(

Um, is that a snake???
