Joe this is stunning! I'm completely drawn by this image, it's hypnotic depths. I'm sure everyone can relate to the darkness in some way, some of us more than others and some can possibly only imagine, but this.... this is definitely thought-provoking indeed! Ooh, you're bringing out the dark side of me now - spooky!! LOL. Excellent post-work with fantastic warm colours and lighting, but a great capture of your friend that you originally took too. Well done. xx

Reallly amazing work. Impeccable quality and I love the 3rd eye motif. I am thinking though at this point it has gone beyond a photography into the realm of 2D or mixed medium. Amazing art, but beyond photography.

Oooh my! 26 layers???? In only 36 minutes? Boy you sure are effective, lol. Hmmm.....36 minutes you say? And on my upload you said youd upload this in 30 minutes.....but it took you more like 7-8 hours to get it up here....hmmm...doing the math. LOL. #:oP Love the layers too...especially those wine-looking branches or whatever it is, crawling across her face. Howd you get that to look that good? Thanks for this beautiful dedication Joe, i do indeed love your dark series. And i cant imagine anyone not doing so. Keep up the great work Joe! #:o)

Well you know I'm a fan!!! I love your edit work here as well as the smoke tubes/strips/rings. I like the addition of the 'third' eye onto the lifeless eyes below. Once again I favourite with me!
