Banshee by =michellemonique The suggester writes, "It's truly beautiful and aesthetic. I love everything about it. The model, her expression, the outfit, the lighting." Indeed, this is quite an impressive set up! Be sure you check out the "behind the scenes" link in the deviation description to see how the photographer achieved this.

i love how her gaze is peircing...didnt do a very good job on the banshee part....theyre supposed to be ugly...but still! the hair needs to be seperated more so it doesnt look like medusa. the dress good, but could use a pinch more ripping up. the lighting makes it look as though she really were ice cold and evviilll. the webs are perfect! i would work a little on the lower half, it seems to be lacking in appearance. i would make the dress longer for that reason so that way her legs dont look awkward. and add more webs at the bottom to fill up the negative space. her makeup is absolutly stunning! very well done!

This is an incredibly solid piece that fires on all cylinders. Your choice of color does a great job of communicating a cold vibe; the makeup and hair fit the tone well, and the lighting looks fantastic (even though that's a fairly challenging situation to light). It's well balanced in terms of composition, which is very impressive given the 'free-flowing' nature of so many parts of the background, yet the model is anchoring the piece really well. I'd love to give you some tips to improve this shot, but there's really not a lot that could be improved upon! The only thing I can point out is that I feel the background being split in tone about a quarter from the left border of the image seems a bit out of place. That seems to have just been a feature of the location, however, and maybe something that couldn't be worked around.

Cheers, and great piece!
