You are right, this girl doesn't look very relaxed or happy. The expression on her face is hard to tell but your description is a pretty good interpretation. I love the subtle coloring in your picture, those green eyes look great against the black and white which are dominating the image. Good work from you, Jess, thumbs up !!!

What I LOVE about this piece is the gothic look w/the green eyes, very unfitting but fitting...did that make sense? Well, basically I really like this :D Nice job!

Yeah Jess, whadda great piece!! She either just remembered she forgot to brush her teeth ot the cameraman farted. Great manip and placement!!

...I think it was the cameraman ^^^

LOL! Either that or she's thinking "Whaddya mean I've got dandruff?..=P Seriously tho, great convesation starter. I do love the green eyes!! Great job Jess!!..=)

lol thanks guys.. see what i mean about character! She does have that look like whats that smell??? hahaha
Peace:)

Very well executed mood establishment in the image...Why does "Joan Crawford-ish" seem to come to mind?

Good work. I like that you kept the eyes subtle, it's so easy to go over the top with them, they have great impact muted like this.

wow this is too cool I realy like the ethreal edge in the slight blurring. good job

Hmm, I like it. The only thing that's ruining it for me is the white dots/speckles on her hair. Other than that - great job.

I like this photo this photo is so WILD mrrrau :D great visual effect and your beauty green eyes ;)

great portrait, I enjoy this one as well as the 2 mesmerized images in your gallery. creative, imaginitive, and artistic...keep it up

Hello Jess.....This is a good portrait, you have exhibited good light and composition, but if it is to capture the imagination of anyone not related to the subject, it will exhibit passion and respect.....Well done...All the best....Mick.

What i love about this picture, is that the eyes are very bold with green. and it adds to the look. I like it.

what an astonishing image
somewhat laconic yet so full of meaning
the odd angle and posture of the girl is indicative of maybe her odd angle of her mood
good choice to go with bnw
very much reminiscent of the preraphaellite renditions of the drowning of Ophelia except of course without the garish colours they used to like
the soft focus and ps manips further enhance the strangeness of her appearance thus again her possible mood

wonderful pic and a beautiful girl!

sooo cool..
i love the psychedelic vibe all your stuff has.
really has an air of mystery to it..
cool name too gotta love da whitewidow, tho i prefer the original BLACKWIDOW by mr.nice :)
peace

My first thought when I saw this was "Black Dahlia", which is one of the most infamous LA murders due to the unique way Elizabeth Short was murdered. If you have the time, it might be worth checking out the resemblance :) That being said I feel a very dramatic reaction to this but I'm not quite sure if its good or bad. Either way this is quite a capture!
