Ennil, oh, Ennil. Jeez, what am I supposed to say here. Why did this finish 40th??
I have no clue. Maybe it was too much statement for the viewers, though that, in itself was subtle.
I think the red below the eyes and on the nose was a bit much, and didn't seem to complement the maroon scarf and purple very well. But then, my wife is always telling me how clueless I am on colors.
I actually like the hands in the picture, the eyes are absoluetely fabulous, the use of a ringlight is great. You might have sharpened them a wee bit more though.
All in all a good photograph. Your work is always good though, but I'm not sure this came out as "great". Of course, that's all subjective. :O)
