i love this piece.

the lost and found edges are just terrific. truly accents her ethereal nature. at the same time she is very solid and grounded.

you have played with so many opposites in this photo. she's so white, she seems dead yet her expression is very powerful and alive. she's so stiff yet her hair is full of movement. she seems "icy" (her whiteness and her stiffness) yet she is also "fiery" (the movement in her hair and the intensity of her expression).

there is so much grace here also. the curled hand, the curve of her cheek bone, her neck and the slight dip in her head.

her flower really intrigues me. is it dead? what does it mean to her? took me awhile to find it so it was a nice surprise.

i'm not sure if i like the circle or not but no biggie- that's just me. i love the red lips and her make up. i would have popped the color in her eyes but again that's something i do, may not be your thing.
