I went to see Peter Pan last month and they kept talking about Wendy having a "kiss in the corner of her mouth". It was such an odd phrase to me that it really stuck in my mind. Then I saw photos from a fashion show (couldn't tell you who's, the magazine was in Japanese) where they drew bright red lips over to one side a good inch or so. I got the idea for this shot instantly, and I just had to wait for a challenge that it fit!

Nowhere's near the contrast needed to make this picture work. Looks like a normal pic that is over exposed in a high key attempt. Had you shown the whole face, and, it wasn't so light, it may have worked better for you.

Good idea but the focus on the mouth and chin seems off. That litt;e dark spot to the right of the chin is also a bit distracting.

Wait a minute, does this mean you wear lipstick? ; )

Good idea and execution. The composition and DOF are very nice.

Overtones of lesbianism here? Somehow I'm not sure - it's such a placid shot, such a gentle tonal range and gentle focus, I would perhaps have expected something more heavily worked. But I like that dichotomy, anyway. Good work. 7
