It would be very good, if the image was primary only photographic, but also in this case it very much was pleasant to me. Very much effectively looks. (Sorry for my bad Eglish)

The apparent convergence of parallel lines of striving toward human perfection lead to the vanishing point of humankind.
I think this image extends Koestler's ghost and Shelley's monster and Jackson's self-concept from the dawn of prehistory clear into tomorrow's news.
Visual analogies, powerful diagonals, devices of composition and value
drive home the stake's butt-end (seen at bottom-right) through the viewer whose search for imperfection (in a mirror) is trasmitted through the transfixed eye of the beheld deep into the heart of the transfixed beholder.

Theres really an awesome story to this one. Aand a scary one too. I wonder how it was lit, and how much of the final effect was produced in Photoshop. Really good work.

I think the blurred and slightly hazy look of the background is the right choice. This has obviously been done to give the girl at the foot of the image absolute prominence, and it works! I love the dirty gothic industrial ambience, and I especially love the models posture. The composition has real strength, there are no missing pieces in this jigsaw, it is complete perfection.

Absolutely great. I love the compo, the colour, the vision. The expression of the model, the make-up.
All is great

the industrial background is superbly executed, I must say. not sure about the harsh flesh effect. shades of Aeon Flux, but without the drama. too much of your work on the hair. model obviously dropped on top of background.

Well done Jeffrey, This montage suits the mood and title. I like the colour as it adds to the atmosphere. Both camera angle shots go well together. Well done and keep up the good work. regards angie

"The Long, Overdue Deletion of the Last, So Called "Flesh Machine""
Naomi Jay is our next Super Heroine coming to life after Catwoman,
Kate Beckinsale .... Selene,
in Underworld, and
Batwoman, among many others.
Excellent "CREATION" of a novel Character of NUMATRIX' s new creation "Flesh Machine". Naomi Jay is awesome and impressive. A great Science Fiction cartoon like Image. Very finely artistic and angrily emotional. Filled with the Rage against the Machine. Could Fit Pink Floyd's The Wall (1982). A Rebel/A Cause/An Adventure. Female Clones as Sex Objects.
Fabulous make up and costume. Excellent Steely background in a future not far from the cyborgs or Robots. A she-I, Robot, rebelling against humans. Jeffery, we already have a heroine now we need a script and then "The Movie". Note: this Image should not be Deleted

Hi Jeffrey, Wahooo !!! What an amazing work so well carried out ! You are obviously a master of digital post-processing. Imho, everything is perfect : sharpness of the model, blurr of the background, "make-up" of the model, dramatic effect of the picture... Really a good work. Best regards.

Reminds me of when the Terminator fell through the wormhole, Jeffery. This gal looks like she'd give Arnie a run for his money. Upper arm gives the appearance of airbrushing which seems to be at odds with the 'feel' of the rest of the shot. Otherwise - awesome.

Nope. No "airbrushing". Just a very highly polished, black latex glove. Thanks. Jeffery Scott (1019)

Whoaah, great image and composition.
Only one suggestion: maybe the contrast between the super-sharp foreground and the blurred background is too big.
Regards, Filip.

Amazing! But tell me, I'm curious, is this a "collage" of 2 different shots or is this a single exposition? Realy suggetive! Thanks for sharing! M. ps. can you write the dettail of your camera and lens?

Another powerful photomontage in this series. A compelling image with an interesting model pose combined with a gritty industrial scene. Masterful subdued toning. I might like it even better if the background wasn't quite so blurred.

Clearly not. If it were Jacko, it would look less human.
