Picture overall is good, the black eye looks great, the bleeding nose though IMO took away from the photo, looks like spaghetti sauce, just found it distracting. Otherwise nice photo.

I really like the idea but it does look more like she's had a fight with a box of purple and silver eye-shadow and some ragu bolognaise!

Yikes! This is somewhat nasty to look at. :-/

Impressive shot and beautiful place. The POV and processing makes it look like a shot of a model instead of a real place. Too bad that the building in the rear distracts from the magical beauty of the place.

This'll be heavyj. Like the light and tone as ever. Make up (unless you're both really dedicated to your art!) works quite well - maybe a bit too much purple. Don't know whether you were after a look of determination (from mrs heavyj?), but that's what I see. 8

I like it but the make up looks so contrived...it really looks drawn on around the eyes... lighting is good...just being helpful :)

I got a shock when this image loaded on my screen. You got the impact on viewer. Nice portrait. However the fake blood looks more like food left over. Try ketchup next time ;)

I was just kinda skimming over the thumbnails and your title caught my attention so I clicked on the image. I'm glad I did and I think I'll stop here for the night. It wouldn't be fair to the other photos because they all pail in comparison! Dang...thanks for the laugh and a great photo. 10...duh! Man, that's some funny Schmidt dude! God bless, I can't stop laughing...

Technically - not so sure, but it is so clever and funny. I applaud your imaginative approach
