Dark Desires

This captures the viewer's attention. The dark blue is used almost as a monochrome with just the faintest hints of purple and green, blue's adjacent colors. Such coloring is very effective. The woman's eyes, seen while her mouth is veiled, can be either haunted, fear-filled, angry, or seductive. This adds to the mystery overall.
The framing is well-composed, with the top of the picture eliminating the top of her head, bringing the face closer to the viewer. The jewel at the neckline, the mascara, and the leaves effectively add to the framing effect. This is a beautiful, alluring, and mysterious portrait.
