 channel mixer - curves - filter - contrast

lighting: home made:) onto the background near the face and on my back.
the background is my favourite purple sheet...
I used three mirrows set on different angles to get that effect of broken body.
the title is one of my favourite hokku:
the steps of my friends going away
are frozen into the tears
in my eyes.

(my free translation:)

Brilliant photograph.
It's got such an intriguing honesty to it.
The fact that the broken glass runs right through your body. Like actual breaks in you.
I love it.

Dramatic and original. Somehow the mood is still unresolved to me though.

Wow, I am truly sad this is not in the top 10. I love the face, it fits so well.

Svetlana,
Another beautiful and captivating image! You have a lot of talent, I think. The lighting and composition work very well together. Great job.

I've just read what you did with the mirrors and took a second look, brilliant!

I think I am finally recognizing you, if this is Svetlana. A fine Surrealist landscape. You are perhaps inhabiting a tear. 9

This is such an intriguing vision. Took me a while to realise that it's been sliced into 3. Not sure if the editing is legal in Basic, but since you could have very easily accomplished this using a broken mirror, I'm happy to give the benefit of the doubt here. Great low key image, 8.

I would have called this "The Beauty of Diagonals".

I will not claim that I understand the title, but I like the picture. Would probably have liked it better without the black thing in front of her feet/hands though.

I can already recognize your images. Does that make me some sort of perv??? Hope not. This is a great shot. I assume it's broken glass? Good Luck!

Beautiful B&W study of shadows on contours.

Plus: Nice composition, face looks great
Minus: although I like the lighting, it's stealing your diagonals. foreground "things"?
Score: 6
