Alan,
Strange-looking bird... but I guess that's the point of Gothic .
Excellent photograph regardless of my failure to really understand strangeness.
Charlie
I'm with Charlie on this one - strange. She's either too young to be looking that old or she's too old to be looking that young - either way, the processing is great and adds to the strangeness. Very cool.
Alan,
The eyes really do it. I'd like to see a bit more detail in the skin. Seems a bit "pure" as you move away from the eyes.
Overall, a powerful composition and Halloween-timely. (Is Halloween big in England?)
