I love that crop. really edgy... super processing. Leaves enough detail to give it a different feel than just made up...

I think this is a creative shot. I'm not positive about the crop. It's a gutsy move to crop right across the eyes like that. I'd actually have to see it with more space above to judge if I like it better or not.

It seems to me there is a bit of a DOF issue. Your(?) face (if that's not you, someone must really enjoy your work...) looks like the softest part of the picture, and I'm not sure I like that since it is the place our eye is naturally drawn. The highlight on the nose and to a lesser extent the gloves is slightly blown which may add to the softness. Finally, while I can't blame the makeup artist at all (cuz I couldn't do a better job), it does seem a bit rough around the lips (the juxtaposition of the black and white). That's a nitpick, but it does take a slight polish away from the shot.

I think it was creative and you should keep using that creativity. One question was why you used a sepia filter on a B&W shot?

I like the composition but feel the colours of the flower could do with a boost and a large spot of sensor dust on the right could be removed (if I am being picky!) :o)7

I missed this in voting, but it's a great idea! I think the face pancake may be a little too lumpy, but well done anyway.

Is that sensor dirt at the far lower right?
