*Hello from Sid and the Critique club*

A spookily appealing image that meets the challenge

Congratulations on your high finish. Looking into the fires of hell, her eyes are captivating, you have nailed the focus well, with a shallow DOF that emphasises her eyes very effectively. You have a very attractive model who would look gorgeous with or without this makeup that I find works on most of her face except the forehead which somehow feels distractingly too much. There is a seductive element to here that is brought out by the sharper focus of her lips which are on the same focal plain as her eyes, this again works very well.

The lighting is very evenly illuminating her with no distracting shadows, well done. Her hair looks lovely and adds to the theme of snakes with its twisting locks. The black background avoids any other distractions. Everything works well together.

Great image very well executed, apologies for the delay, well done. Thanks for your submission, Sid

Thanks all for the votes! First go for submitting a photo other than last months free study, so I'll take 6th place. Hopefully I'll get to submit to more challenges!

Great finish though I did think it would finish even higher. Great DOF.
