paula, i'm trying to figure out what you're trying to accomplish in this image and the other you posted. it doesn't seem to be about anything: it's not about beauty, though you're quite beautiful. it's not about emotion, though it appears you certainly could project plenty of emotions. it's not about the eternal battle between light and shadow, which is often what makes photos interesting. it's like it's about... uhhmmm.. i don't know ... just shooting something different? shooting something weird? trying to be artsy for artsy-ness sake? (and i am trying to be gentle... i'm a gentlemen, ya know... well, sorta and sometimes.)
i also don't get the makeup effect. i don't get the blue tint. i don't get that thing in your hands--what is it? a blade? i do get goth, but i don't get it here. again, i'm not busting your ovaries, i just feel like this stuff is like a story without a theme or a plot. i dunno. maybe i'm being a *****. but i seriously don't get it. (but just so ya know, there's a lot of stuff that gets posted here i don't get... so don't take it like you're the lone ranger.)
