Hide In Colors, Ver. 2

It is the colors we choose, the colors we paint with our own hands,whether warm or cold, elegantly matching or vulgarly clashing, that define what we are, and what we are not. We always tend to hide behind those colors, behind veils of which we try our hardest to conceal our pale wilting faces, hide our weaknesses, our sorrows and our sins behind a freshly painted mosaic of colors, we hide in colors.

 

p.s: This is not a repost, I tried a different treatment this time, fixed some flaws that I couldn't live with, like enhancing selection of the paint on the hands, fixed the noisy eye, adding a vignette, used a different black and white filter, among others.

p.s: This is my first trial on self portraiture, and one of my first on portraiture in general, feedback MUCH appreciated, thank you all !
