Comment by tvsometime: I think this image is quite effective especially with an unexpected palette, sensitively detailed composition, and well managed deep focus technique. But to my eye those bars ruin it (never to be seen in a gallery so why here?) It's a 7 quality shot but please rethink using the bars in the future. Why destroy an otherwise beautiful presentation? 5.5 (which way should I round?) Ok 6.
Comment by ecmguy: This reminds me of Col. Kurtz from Apocalypse Now :) Good use of negative space, just wish I could see that one eye a little better.
