Cover it Up

This is a beautiful photograph with a simple color scheme where the red really pops out. The bow tie covering the eye is really significant, suggesting something she wants to hide. You can see the blood dripping down from the covered eye, which is the most effective part of the picture. The contrast of the blood on her pale skin is dramatic and draws attention to the redness. The edges of her face blends in with the shadows, adding a touch of mystery. The underlying message is subjective, but clear to perceive. Not the most original idea, or the most advanced techniques are used, but too much detail would take away from the effect. The overall impact of the picture is dark and intense. Very good job!
