I like it, overall, but the unnatural poutyness is a bit off-putting. :)

Great composition on this one. Good job.
Good job on finding the model as well. She has an interesting shape that lends good things to the pose.

But, truth be told, I think I like your "out takes" better.

Most great artists have to deal with their fair share of controversy. Warranted or not. Regardless of the merits of the criticism, the greatest of them rise above it all. Personally I think this image is stunning and powerful on many levels. You and your model have done each other proud. Well done.

I was the nanny and "make-up artist" of the Belgium Gavroches. This is a real Gavroche type of Girl. Maybe an Eponine!!

Great lightning!!!!!!!! Love the picture.

I think she's absolutely beautiful! Long necks isn't anything abnormal or disgusting - and she certainly doesn't look diseased!
Besides, now that we know who the model is, we can just go back and look at the crossdressing challenge and see that she looks as healthy as the next girl!
She is obviously very thin - but it's the angle of her body that brings out her ribs - standing up straight we probably would see a lot less of them. She is not anorexic, that's pretty obvious to me.

Anyway, as a whole I think this shot is beautiful. The absence of a right arm is why some might feel she has a bit of an 'alien' look, but I kind of like it. The focus of the image is very clear.
I also congratulate you on getting one model to look so very different in two different images - the crossdressing picture of her is miles different (but still beautiful). This picture is a lot more 'artsy' - and I really like that. :)

This is an amazing image.

I wish I were brave enough to shave my head.

This is a fantastic image...the only disturbing thing is Toyan describing this model as a sum of her parts in his comments.

On another note, I was looking at this image for a while before I even noticed the model is bald! It just seems so natural on her, very beautiful.
