I'm lost for words.
is that a good thing... ?!?!

1. Melding the two heads together. My eyes keep getting drawn to that area where your shoulders should be in the middle of the frame.
There were a couple of reasons for this. Number 1, I was honestly so happy with ALL of the shots I took in this series that I simply couldn't just use one. I really liked these two shots next to each other but aesthetically they just didn't look right. So I tried reversing the right hand image to link them more effectively and loved the effect it gave. The way it looks like a reflection until you cast your eyes to the opposite image, the hands and the facial expressions and the almost 'black hole' effect the linked skin and ink smudges create in the centre.
Yes it is, it's stunning Louise. Whether it would have had the same imapct without the explanation I don't know, but coupled with the words the image is very powerful. Technically I think it's flawless and on an emotive level for me it's breathtaking.
(There I found some words)
Wow! That is a wierd and wonderful shot. There is an other worldy, surreal feel to it. Slightly freakish and very, very good. Super shot.
Cheers, Rob
Amazing. Stuck for anything to say, tough to improve on that. Probably my favourite image this week
Awesome shots Louise!!!!
I have to agree with Yv - your mono works for the surreal but it is the colour one that really nails it for me - I think it is the black paint with those powerful colour eyes.
Stunning work, and like many have said, my favourite entry for People so far.
Nice one lady
Thanks for taking the time to reply to everything Louise. I did have a nose at your Flickr account and you've taken some stunning shots there.
I know I have a problem with the "artistic interpretation" side of photography. Simply put: I don't know what I'm looking at half the time, so your explanations really helped, and all of a sudden that stripey top made sense.
I understand where you're coming from in terms of not seeing the composition until after. I did a self-portrait this week and not only did it kill my knees from getting up and down all the time, it made me realise how difficult it is to do a self-portrait. You're your own worst critic (or I am in my case) and I was never happy with any of the shots. I think it comes across in my expression...
Will continue to follow this thread with great interest. I think this last shot is one of the best out of all I've seen this week.

Crikey Louise, that's an amazingly powerful image and shouts out without any words.
Louise, that's very clever... and fits the theme nicely. Always gonna be a difficult one for an SP 52... I think the High Key image (I think....) suits nicely.
Thank youuu! I will at some point be going through your flickrstream to check out the days I've missed of your 365 When the theme was announced for week 8 I was so frustrated, but it was easy in the end!This is a fantastic image Louise.
The lighting suits it well and I love the position of your hands. Great idea for 'mechanical'!
love the soft processing, suits very well.. great idea, an excellent interpretation of the theme!
Fantastic Louise, the lighting in your image is great, gives it a whole dreamy feel. Bang on the theme too, well done.
Do you get wound up often?
Thanks!
Yes - I do.. very easily too!! Anything can wind me up.. as simple as my significant other putting the kettle on to boil when there's NO WATER IN THERE! Drives me mad it does!!
I love looking at your 52, always something different, always something inspiring and always something I know I'll love. This week is no different. It's a wonderful take on the theme, it's beautifully processed and perfectly composed.
I am loving your images, really powerful and imaginative. You are a talented lady!!
This was always going to be an interesting week for you and how well you have pulled this off, very imagative and excuted extremely well. It has an heavenly feel about it.
Very nicely done Louise
great take on the theme I did wonder how you would do it on a sp
Hi Louise,
Another corker, and a great idea. I'm really enjoying your thread.
I'm not sure the processing is mu cup of tea, but that's a personal thing. I'd like to see a touch more contrast.
I don't think it detracts from the shot, and if you're pleased with it, that's all that counts.
Ian.
Really clever take on the theme, whilst I like the lighting I feel I would like to see a little more detail and contrast especially in your dress.
The shape of your body has nice lines and looks good with you trying to turn it yourself.
Well done.
I love the harsh lighting contrasting against the soft processing of yourself. The key looks perfect and you've got yourself another great shot.
Great shot and clever approach to theme
Well Louise what can I say about your 52 that has not already been said absolutely stunning set of images. Very artistic you can tell you have put a lot of time and effort into your Photography well done
Very clever Louise
Wow !!!!!
I missed your people week and what a shot that is
Seems insulting to call it a shot - it's just a fantastic image. Very powerful and extremely emotive.
Mechanical is a very different image altogether and I love it for completely different reasons.
At a first glance I thought it was a little too bright, but the more I look at it the more it grows on me - it gives it a real dreamlike, ethereal quality. Absolutely perfect PP with the key too. It looks totally believable.
I can't wait to see what you come up with next week. This is a fantastic thread and I'm just in awe of how much imagination and effort you put in each week.
Simply fantastic Louise.
Both images and the picture you paint from your words are very creative and imaginative. Your 52 just gets better and better.
Thanks for sharing.
Iain
Thanks Iain I read my little story to my other half and he looked at me in a very odd way tehee!
