Incredibly strking picture. Just makes you gasp. A distraction for me is the big toenail - too light? Excellent details and great use of black and white.

Some of your flowers are still gray which is too bad - it's a pretty bouquet!

This is just plain weird lol. Do you believe in dirty old bathrooms with religious cutouts? Very interesting find!

Oooh that is a pretty freaky catch. Looks like some weird processing going on too.

This is peaceful. Makes me want to sit there and just think. You've captured a lovely and serene setting.

My personal taste is for defined lines in a pic. I am not a big fan of soft focus unless you can make out the details still. I hope you will post somewhere why you like this so much. I make that statement out of curiosity because a pic like this goes in the opposite direction of what I normally like to look at. A different perspective would be enlightening.

The Picture of Dorian Gray

Oh is this in reference to the Oscar Wilde novel which I don't remember all that well now? (lol) Love the opposing perspectives (model vs. photograph). Similar shirt and ties - good balance! Selective desat - a good way to highlight the beauty of the aging photo. Awesome - love pictures with meaning!

Edit to add: I don't remember much about the story - did a little digging around to refresh my memory so what I am writing will probably not sound right, but it worked for me lol.

You did better than I did with the challenge - I just chose to disappear lol.

Great shot! Good focus and great contrasts. Your gaze just leaps out of the pic. I cannot believe you dressed up for the occasion lol.
