 My husband is a nutritionist and quantumn physicists and mud therapy (or something similar) is actually effective. So my daughter was fortunate enough to be the torture subjcet. Oh and by the way the actual mud is rather pricey so for sake of not wasting... Coco Powder.;-)

This is really fun. This person doesn't seem very happy at all to be stuck there. The two catchlights in the eyes are a bit distracting, and the noise I feel doesn't work well. Maybe a touch of curves would really help this image pop and go to the next level.

Interesting - Could have been better with slightly more dramatic lighting as it's a little flat looking.

I really don't get this at all... or torture? If this is meant to make a serious point it falls short. How is a mud mask torture? Unless it's involuntary. If it's meant to be humorous you didn't get that point across either.

As far as photography goes I find it really flat and too tightly cropped.

Yikes, I think this is more scary than anything - and just a bit too sharp.

This just looks like a dirty girl (with pretty eyes). For mud-therapy, I would like to see something more than a tight shot on a dirty face....perhaps someone's head sticking out of a mud-bath???

I'd say this would be torture on my knees from cleaning out the bathtub afterwards! *smile*
