Her mouth (area) is a tad more prominent. Curious if by design, creative aim?

And the additional texturing is exquisite. The final image is very polished.

Desolated Beach 2 by corngrowth

Mythmaker: Well done in the Emptiness comp Mr C! A lovely empty shot this, exactly how I prefer my beaches. :)

allisontaylor: I like it very much. Definite lonely and empty feelings emerge. The only thing opposing the mood is the beautiful blue skies. I like the space you left in your composition.
