I like the idea but why are the colors so bright???

[Laurenbiz]

Do you have a specific question for your critique?

[senorpyz]

i was just wondering what people thought of it and what people thought was good and what wasnt

the colors are so bright because i liked the surreal look so i uped the contrast and a bit of saturation

[Benphall]

personally i love harsh lighting it adds to contrast. and do like the lighting in this shot i would of , however, either added a slight fill to the right side of your face mabey a 8:1 orrrr just lifted your head a bit. for some reason im just not digging the part of your cheek below the eye on the darker side of your face. maybe saturated a bit too much. I do this all the time in my pictures. Something that seems to help me , if you are using Photoshop, is after you are done editing go back and forth between your"final"image and origional before flattening layers. all in all good shot though. looking foreward to seeing more.

I would dial down the saturation or at least the reds so your face looks normal.....
