This is extremely well done! The face-paint really isolates the eyes and brings them out... however, the white shoulders distract me. Perhaps they could have been painted as well?

Very dramatic. I had to stop and think how you got this effect. Interesting contrast of black face and white shoulder and ear... contrast of races. The eyes are hostile. Does the black skin make it hostile? That raises interesting questions on race. Love the contrast of white eyes against a dark face. This one made me think! Well done!

Would have been great without the white skin showing I think.

The left side of the face is too underexposed which results in the a weird looking floating ear. Increasing the brightness slighly would make it a much better photo IMO.

I think this could have worked if you had colored your body as well as your face with the dark stuff...
