My favorite! This kicks ass. Besides the obvious part that makes it stand out, I love the shine of the octopus and the flatness of the skin/makeup on the model. Great concept.

I really like this photo... I love the statuesque symmetry of the subject! I love that you chose to use a stoic expression in the eyes...she looks right through me! Awesome job!

You definitely have vision, and like using metaphorical devices. Her look might say ' Why should I need protection?' Brilliant!
