Thanks a bunch for the original, Marcio! Now, that's why it reminded my of something like "Captain Scarlett"! I thought it was only my impression, but you really walked the thin line between living face and puppet idealisation!
So, even better than if it had really been a man! More of them?
The series of stunning portraits of your simply doesn't seem to be stipped anyday soon, Marcio! Again that stunning, almost haunting, freshness, vividness of the unreal face that looks so real through the screen right on to my realm. Again one face of which I expect to turn the eyes to me and say something.
The lighting balance is complete and the timing perfect. It kept plasticity of the face even in such a softened look without many details. But the important details that "build up" a face andits expression are strong and tangible.
Was that also a post-processed one, or your original shot? Anyway, subtle, strong, excellent!
