Good Art Deco style design with a strong composition reminds me of a book cover for a `who done it` mystery.A very well handled piece of work.

Shades of Art Deco with hintsof fantasy thrown in for good measure..a most interesting composition with its subtle play of light and dark and shadow...Good Rob

    Thank you so very much for the wonderful review, Surmed. I haven't seen you for so long, I thought maybe you had quit posting. Many others seem to have. In art and photography. Good to hear from you again, and I thank you :)

This is really cool!
The colours are so well blended, with the yellow/green lightened areas really giving impact to the composition.
The lighter 'moons' behind the silhouettegive depth to the image.
Would make a superb piece of artwork for a new perfume!

i love the glowing look around the head. And the basic shapes and lines you used, its really pleasing to the eye. It's clean and neat.. well done. Also i like the detail with the shadow behind the head thanks for showing!

A most intriguing work of art, Shawn. Frightening in one sense and eerie on another. A sense of the future of humanity perhaps?

Interesting use of color. This has a noirish, art deco feel to it. Great design, the only thing I would tweak is the focal point. I think your female figure should be in a different position. using the rule of thirds if she were shifted right and slightly up the flow would be a bit smoother. But overall this is a fantastic design.

Beautiful technique.
Great framing and depth.
The color brings her right to my eyes.
Opens ones imagination to conjecture.
Great framing.

interesting picture. I like the person in the middle. The black things hanging down give me the feeling of letters. Cool picture. Good Job

I love your creative side on this one. Very different from your usual work.
Interesting design. Works well as a black and white with slight color to offset the simplicity of it. Good visual impact. Nicely done. Eleanor
