Description

O, what a noble mind is here o'erthrown! And overturned!
...
O, woe is me,
To have seen what I have seen, see what I see!

A wonderfully stunning piece using mixed media. I love the soft contrast and comparison between the orange and the background against the woman, really works out well here. The bird is also done and maniped into the photo well. I have two complaints however. What is the purpose of the orange swirl? It seems distracting and unnecessary to the picture, it doesn't add anything. Also, what is this portraying? It isn't clear what your idea is, and this needs to clearer.

Overall, I like it. It is done well, however the unnecessary orange swirl and unclear idea need to be revised.
