Quite the vamp, this dark lady. I like the combination of the topical elements - the candle and cards - with the more visceral stuff - smoke, fire, and blood.

Wow this is very intense. The eyes really grab you. this is a very dramatic piece I'm impressed. Colours of intense red suit the work. Really a good job.

Love that song!
I like the way you have the eyes as the main interest point of the image, very strong pull there. The hidden three is also neat. Good storytelling. For me the fiery center doesn't work that well, would prefer to see more face.

    Sorry for being late but now were the contest is over I'm able to thank you personally for your review. The center isn't only fire but a dancer. An actual face were never there. Even the eyes aren't from a potrait, only the iris and pupil is from a real eye the rest is paint. I had tried it with cat eyes too but it didn't work.

Definitely an image from a nightmare. You feel like you are waiting for the face to form completely but that you probably won't like it when it does! Nice work

Nice song. I like the movement in what I think is smoke. Great eyes. I see a kitty. The orange creates drama. The arm reaching up helps tell a story. Good luck

Comment from angelaobrienfotos


this image is incredible.

Excellent work with the man in the centre, it looks like a flame and yet it is a mere man.

Brilliant focus n the lady's eyes, they really have a way of drawing you into them, almost hypnotising.

Great use of colour and tones.

Great job, Well done
