Rollover retouch: painted beauty

That's an uncommon, but interesting motif. And by the way: This hover effect is awesome!  I guess that the first one, before hovering, is the edited work? You can really see the difference and the improvement between these two. I first had to muse if the work is a photo or a painting, because it looks so surreal and that it's actually a photo really surprised me. I have absolutely no idea about make-up and painting, but I like the strong and vibrant colours as well the the contrast between them, like red and green. The red and black create an effect of passion, which surely was wanted. The hair decoration looks so strange but at the same time nice, they enrich the green and yellow colours on the face. And last but not least about the colours, the viewer's eyes really focus on the face because of the black colour of the rest of the body. The eyes are sparkling so beautiful and I like that they don't look directly into the camera, it gives the model a touch of divinity, which is strengthened through the central position of the model and the frontal perspective. Sharpness and focus are done well, I think. Together, this is really a special work, to be honest it's not my taste of art, but I like it nevertheless.

My feedback concentrated on the new version, of course and I really like the contrast you can see to the previous version. The old version looked dull, messy and lacked in feelings - your retouching really improved it a lot. Keep up the good work!

Have a purr-fect day,
