This is one of those images where the longer you view it, the nicer it becomes.

Comment by Paul:
This image has caused me to stop and pay attention. That means it is in my 7-10 voting band. (Voted earlier)

Additionally, it is highly interesting/eclectic meaning it keeps me here long enough to offer a longer comment and a vote of 8 or more.

This is one of my 9s - I like it a lot. Furthermore I think it enriches the DPC collective portfolio. Put simply, I wish we saw more stuff like this. Let me tell you why it pushes all the right buttons for me:

1. I like unusual portraits and there is all sorts of interest here - the moody coloration, the slight blur, the faraway expression.

2. I really like the darkness of the bottom left quadrant - it offers a counterpoint to the rest of the image.

3. I enjoy the grain/noise and how you've achieved an almost-texture-overlay effect.

Overall, this has a slight other-wordlyness that I really enjoy.
