Surrealism - final image

I'm pretty happy with the out come of my final image. I think I have adapted my skill's over the past couple weeks and been able to include them in to this piece.

The cracking skin effect has worked really well, but if I was to re-edit this image I would of made the cracks a lot more bolder so they are more eye catching. Even though I do like the subtle cracks, as you have to really pay attention to what is going on with-in the images. Really happy with how well the black out eye's have worked, I practice many of times to practice shoots I have done as well as trying out other effects.

I feel like this image has worked better in black and white, I think if the image has been in colour it wouldn't be showing the same emotion as it is now. Also the cracks worked better having a black and white image then it did when in colour.

When I took this image I used depth of field, I wanted the model to be the main focus so the out come has come out better than I thought it was going to.

All the photographers I have looked at have played a part in my final image, each one has inspired me in a different way and I've learnt something new from all of their work.
