I really like this. The crop is just perfect - and Im drawn (and then lost in) to your eyes. Marvellous job

A gorgeous mask, where did you get it, or did you make it?
I think the cropping is perfect.
I love the orb-iness of the eyes. They're perfect.

Shalora In reply to Antosia [2005-06-08 21:57:08 +0000 UTC]

Thank you so very much for the kind comment!! I got the mask at a store called Malabar on McCaul Street in downtown Toronto.

Wow, the really large pupils in this make me think of some sort of night creature.
I'm not really sure how much I like the yellow light in the bottom left corner, and the blue in the bottom right. Good overall lighting, though.
But I freaking love that mask. Really excellent portrait.

This is a really beautiful portrait pic! Very alluring & mysterious, too. And lovely, rich color! Did you take the pic yourself vai auto-setup? Anyway, this is lovely. Muy Bonita!

Thank you very much! I'm gald you like it!

I had my camera on a tripod and I used my shutter release cord (the extention thing you plug into the camera - I forget the technical term). It was pretty complicated to get the right positioning, but I'm happy with the end result.

Ricardofantasyart In reply to Shalora [2005-05-17 07:26:28 +0000 UTC]

Your welcome. It came out very nice. I think it would make a nice print, too (black border, framed) I take pics myself, but haven't done so in a while. My art keeps me busy these days!

20Ghosts In reply to ??? [2005-05-15 12:16:41 +0000 UTC]

Very nice work I like the contrast that was achieved in the smoothness of the skin and the texture of the mask. As a alter ego portrait it does a good job in revealing the hidden person behind the artist. Very sensual and mysterious.
