THREE MUSES - Black and White

Black and white is one of my favorite things to work with, so I was happy to see Ann's choice of challenge.   I always like to add a touch of red for accent.   Thanks for stopping by to have a look!

  8. Yes !! Classy is the word I couldn't find. (thank you christine :)
    But also this effect. In photoshop it's named posterize. I hope that you know what I mean Bev. I don't know how to explain it.

    Djeezz...its TO late in the evening...some English words !! aarggg
    I'm off to bed, perhaps tomorrow I will write a new message here .
    Sorry Bev :)

    Anyway...I love your image !! LOL

  10. There is something mystical about this picture. Just look into it for a while and you will find it quite hypnotic. I love the face stamp and I am wondering if you made it yourself using the (annoying) magic of Photoshop. Great work, Bev. You always give me something to think about.

  11. The lady looking at me through that diamond patterned veil really caught my attention - there's something very intense in her eyes. And that red rose is just a perfect final touch for your wonderful collage.

  12. I love the effect you got here with the diamond checkerboard. Having it so strong and dominant in the image really works.

  17. Mmmmmm .... she does have an hypnotic quality to her stare, and I think the man she 'sets her cap at' will not stand a chance. The whole piece is quite mesmerizing Bev.
