i really enjoy the aesthetic it expresses, at first i questioned the positioning of the head a little to the right instead of the center, but after a second reading i preferred the "hips in the middle" approach. (not sure that i would marry her, though, and it brings a strong resemblance to my own room....)

I love the concept and the quote from Oscar Wilde that inspired you.
The mess in this room is so cataclismic (don't know if that's really a word, but it sounds good)... anyway, it feels like the model is part of the whole, instead of the room being a background for her. I like that. It feels like she belongs there. May be because what she wears and the make up also make her look almost unreal.
Anyway, I love your photograph. I think it will provoke something in the mind of all the viewers. Whether it is negative or positive.

No, like...seriously...this is incredible. Did you actually build up the set as it looks in the photo or did you add *some of* the objects in PS?

Awesome work. There is so much to look at. I really like how there are little bits of bright colour. The blue around her eye, the green in her glass, and the orange on her skirt. ^_^

Wow, this is just very, very beautiful. There is something to look at no matter where your eye wanders. Lovely work.

as i drown myself in jade juice dreams,
the green fairy walks with me,
she whispers things that make me scream,
some foul french poetry,
as i dance macabre an emerald queen,
i spin like a whirling dervish,
others frown at this crazy scene,
disdain i dont deserve it.
this verdant drink,has set me free,
with it wormwood tainted visions,
what life i've left i give to thee,
one last total submission.

i think its a great picture! great pose of the model and well it is busy, but i guess it fits perfectly (or maybe it is because i also like chaotic things XD). I would have loved to see a bit more of the photoframes on the right, it would also have placed the model a bit more in the center by doing that (the left side is great as it is though!) But yea thats just a really small point of critique which isnt bothering me at all, but it might make the picture even better!
anyway i think its awesome!

Cool and thanks. It is full AND empty and the little things that are left out are just as important as those that are left in. I'm glad it sucked you in.

I can't stop looking at this deviation, there are so much great elements. Beau travail !

there is too much going on in the picture to focus on the girl.
the colours are spread out everywhere and its a bit messy.
i do like it but the girl needs to be more focused on rather than crowded by objects that block her.
i can see what is happening in the picture though and its great

word ... the business is part of the point in that the room is being itself consumed. The relative darkness is somewhat dependent upon viewing angle and OS of choice. With too much crammed in the lower part of the "knee" (not her's but the exposure kind) I would fear it getting too muddy and the room just appear dirty. Perhaps I should just say "squint to taste"!

haha.
im glad u dident get mad at my critique. i thought of it as too harsh, but i was speaking my mind and i thought that i would do you good by speaking the truth.
it is a good picture though

No worries. Art is subjective and that's part of what makes it cool.
