Expertly lit, but for me you have gilded the lily twice over - first with the face-smoothing which leaves her with little skin texture, and second on the framing effect. Sorry Don! It shows great skill, way beyond what I could do, but nevertheless I don't think it quite works.

I like it but dont think it needs the square frame.

It is very weird, a gothic futuristic mashup. 19th century meets 23rd century. The extreme smoothing leaves a very ambiguous feel, is the subject real or not? And those contradictions are I think the strengths of this image and the reason I keep popping back for another look.

Actually you could be onto something there Doctor O.
The image unsettles me, but if that was the intention, it's a success!

I was actually contemplating turning the skin tones wayy down to near white to completely get a doll like look, but I have a strong tendency to use warm tones... it was a tough choice but I opted for something I think she'd like more.
I appreciate all the C&C guys. thank you....
