first of all: kudos
then, the rest of the comment
first a few words about the technique: i saw you submitted a few of those deviations where you kinda "blurred" the outlines. i really love-a-love it, because in my opinion, it's reflecting very well the way emotions and life in general is structured, in its being not-linear and not-understandable, having more than one level. i like them all a lot but i chose that one and "white ghost" because i like them the most.
the impressions you can get of them are really amazing, because they're (in my case, at least) evoking emotions at the first second, and they're giving you their unique impression unused and freshly, no clichés, not worn out.
in case of this one, i saw at first a black woman, gazing melancholically upwards. i know, now i'm perceiving it rationally, that there is nothing like that in the photo, but alf2 worked on my unconscious, i think, and it did well. the dark spot a few inches upon the center still seems to be an eye, though. now, that i'm looking at it more closely i see that a lot of the shadows or darker forms in your photo seem light, frazzled and they resemble of feathers, maybe in a boa. i imagine a person going to a party, wearing such a thing, which communicates levity and brighness. still respecting my first impression, though, i get all in all the feeling of observing something pitiable, and i have to think of a sad clown.
all in all, i love the thing. really, you did very, very well, it's great artwork. but anyway, there are a few negative points: first, i miss the full view, because if i can only see your photo in this format, i can't get a good impression of it. please, change that! and then, i don't like that the title and the artist's comment are so unexplanative. that gives your work a bit of anonymity, like you didn't really appreciate it yourself and how should others do so, then? it lowers the artistic worth of your artwork and makes just like "any" deviation, especially if you give the same comment to every single one. and keep in mind that the title is decisive for the first impression of your audience. "alf2" won't be enough, there. all in all, a masterpiece marketed badly.
