Absolutely love it! Very well done, in my opinion. The main figure leaves me wanting to see her eyes, & even though you don't actually see her eyes in the secondary figure, it leaves me satisfied. Kind of a weird explanation but that's the only way I could think of explaining it. Very cool!!

I really like the composition, lighting and pose. I think it's all very well done and the post processing is very good as well. I would like to see the eyes of the musician in the background pose to see how that effects the mood of the image.

I really like the mood of the image right now and I don't think not seeing the eyes damage the image, I'm just curious what it would be like if there were eyes.

Nicely done! You can tell a lot of effort went into creating this. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you very much. I did work on it off and on for a week or so. I consider working on this Picture a labor of love. I did try one with Staceys eyes open, to me just did not have the same feel.

I couldn't say it better for how I feel about the image. It is great, very nice work. There is that curiosity about the eyes. The backround posed exactly like it is, but looking right back at you. Just a curiosity! Don't take it as being critical. As is, the image is powerful. Again, great work!

Thank you very much. It is fun to go back to old shots and seeing what else you can do.

I REALLY love this - I may have to copy! Its just stunning. I have a friend who is a musician and she may want me to take pics of her and folks in the orchestra. Ooooh, I do hope I get to try this.
