 My friend Halldór helped me out with this one.
He painted her blue with bodypaint while I cut out the broken heart and taped on to the softbox.

I guess most of you didn't notice the heart in the eyes. Thanks for the comments

Yes, nice touch with the heart reflection! I didn't notice it until you mentioned it. It's nice and subtle. A great image.

What really makes this work is the color of her eyes. Very nice shot. Bumping up.
 08/01/2006 01:37:30 PM
Can we make blue a happy color for once? I like it tho.

The water near the eye is a bit distracting. Maybe if it was more of a drop or tear, rather than just wet looking.

I'd like this much better without the shiny patch under the eye. I know it works with the title but it detracts from the photo itself in my opinion.

Wow, you had a 10 before I noticed the broken heart in the eye... Wow again... Can I say 11? Amazing.

Amazing work! The lighting, composition, makeup, right down to the reflection in the eye, what looks like a broken heart. I really hope the rest of the viewers notice that becuase the detail and the whole concept comes together every so nicely. A 10 all the way :)

Edit: well only nitpick is the right eye looks green ;)
I see that as a slight distraction. It can depend on the concept you the photog was going for. So this still gets a 10 from me.

Nice picture. The blue eyes really make this picture go "POP." I feel that the right part of the face should be in focus though.

Very well done! I did something similar but this is much better at conveying the emotion, IMO. Good luck!

O Gosh is that a broken heart in the eye. Just noticed it. Got to give extra point for that.

Lovely capture of the feeling.

I like the profile and focus. But there is something missing for me - sad to say, I cannot pin it down. Perhaps it is the highlight under the closest eye. Or maybe it is the colour of the background which might have been better slightly darker. 7.

Strong in color and focus, would liked to have seen the background more in focus to complement the forground....7
