I'm pushing the boundaries of this kind of layered texture effect. I hope to find exactly where I should draw the line, so feedback is encouraged!

To be fairly honest, this would have been better as a faded color smudge work.

her clothing is now transiting to the sixties, and her stance shows that rigor of feminism that's much more... "raw", for a dearth of a better word. I give her credit that even in the black-and-white, she is a brilliant projection, but its an opinion that I have that she'd look better and much more... pristine, if this work had a faded color smudge instead.

Apart from that, its again a worthwhile and commendable picture that has been taken. Keep it up - its good work.

Thanks muchly! It's easy to take things too far with a spare day and Photoshop, so I'm glad I still kept things in perspective :)

i like it, man...
i think it looks excellent...
my only pet peeve is the style of your signature and date -
they don't seem to jive with the mood that you're trying to convey.
they seem too contemporary for the image portrayed.

Agreed. I just slap the same signature on everything :)

classic portrait is exactly what this is.
love that hair. love that expression.
would make beautiful subject matter for a drawing/painting.
plus, i think the textures are applied perfectly.
definitely compliments the mood of the composition.
wonderful shot man.

So far so good, I think, though close to the point where the textures become more important than the original photograph.

Then my work is done :) I was pushing boundaries, so I can claim victory on that score. I wouldn't go any heavier, and most likely wouldn't even match the heaviness of this one again. Leading up to the acquisition of my wetplate camera, everything is an experiment! :D
