Self-portrait, thats what happens when you are your own only available model... And I didnt wear any make up or lip stick, just some chapstick on the lips.
Levels, neat image and then a bit of cropping and sharpening.

Very nice composition. I would have cropped to the top of the lip ro cut down on the undefinable 10th zone and I would have renain with a softer image. Yet, as is, this remains a very nice study and I am bumping up.
I like the composition and the idea but i think it would be better if you had focused the photo on the lips instead on the closer finger. Also the lighting is too sharp and overexpose the skin near the nose.
In some respects this is a stock picture and my first reaction was "OK - seen it before" but it's beautifully executed and I couldn't resist putting it up in my top batch of 9's
Very interesting interpretation and presentation of the subject...this is one of my favs in this challenge. The use of light in this picture is exceptional. I adore the hard back light and deep shadow transition. To me this is a very erotic and very tasteful picture. Truly excellent work in my opinion.
very nice...slightly erotic...amd visualy apealing. I know spot edit is not accepted...but if it was, I would have erased the hair off the fingers... very good shot. an 8
I like this photo except for the hair seemingly on the fingers of a woman. Maybe that is the guy's hand. At any rate it is distracting from an otherwise fine image.
