Dark Eye Sockets

bitwise95

One of the things that I look for on my images is to make sure the eyes don't recede back into shadows. I did a 'stretch' (well, a stretch for me!) exercise to find a way to make an image work with dark eye sockets. I decided to do a contrasty b/w look. What do you think, do the dark eye socket's add or distract from the over all image?

I don't mind them so much here..it doesn't really ads or distract for me in this case

For #s 1 & 2, I feel that it does add to the overall 'feel' of the shots. #3, not so much, for me, sort of gives it a junkie vibe, not crazy about the hands either in that shot, sort of creepy.

Kind of neutral on these shots also.
But with just a slight change of face and light angle would have been less dark and improved...in my opinion anyway.

I like the second shot, like the way you fit her into the frame.
