So after showing my other Man Ray tribute to one of my teachers, he suggested doing another well known Man Ray shot called "Glass Tears." So here's my Leaf Tears !

I like the ideas. I cant say that I know of his work, but these poses look familiar.
Well done.

While the color is nice and the tribute is right on, I would have done them in B&W or a silver gel for best effect as Man Ray would have done.

I agree with Shades that using B&W would be a closer imitation. It would also cut down on the distraction of the colors and let just the tones and shapes stand out. I think it would also be improved if the leaves were actually lying on her face instead of appearing to be stuck on. The tonal range is lovely and there are a lot of really pleasant elements.

Regardless of the original or how close the imitation, I think it stands on its own, in color, as beautifully artistic. I especially like the almost monochromatic tones of skin, lips and leaves. Nicely done.

They're not stuck on. They dried out a bit from the time I found them and did the shoot and so they got a lot flatter. We literally placed them on her and shot. I wanted to do it in color so it would definitely be different. It's a tribute only because it's my own representation of the images. But I did change one to b&w cause i do whats the peoples want :-)

I do like the B&W because it instantly lets me think of Man Ray. The color would have taken me awhile. But it's your vision--remember that.

I really like the b&w, which is strange, I usually like color better. Nice job. :o)

Wonderful pics. Not my cup of tea but one can't deny the artistry from the original and variations on the theme. Nicely done.

I like the composition....but the face goodies (percings) are a big distraction for me.

as a "tribute" to glass tears, your use of color is more than fine IMO....and for years I thought Man Ray was just a fetish bar in Boston anyway...who knew?

I thought about, and I have toned it down, but I wasn't sure about getting rid of it all together. It's the soft box reflected in her eye. I'll consider it before printing.

I like the shot both ways EF, but I the color is better to me. (Big surprise there, huh!) I do agree with Chef that the piercings distract from the leaves though. Overall a nice tribute though.
