This is beautifully done. Her stare is piercing, and immediately bring you into the picture. The use of soft textures really translates the soft curves of her face, especially her mouth. And I'm really digging the little additions of surreal aspects to this w /the birdskulls (almost plague-masks in themselves) and the way you've blended the two negative spaces into a shadowy almost melting/deteriorating effect. Really expert work.
