Thank you for all the feedback, it is very encouraging and gives me the confidence to keep enterting the challenges to learn and keep exploring what I truly enjoy.
it's true, i couldn't tell what i was supposed to be seeing until after the voting finished. I always do first round of voting blind and only check thumbs after. I wanted to see what this was like in a thumb as i wasn't sure if it was supposed to just be some 'spooky window', but i got the hint of an eye and couldn't make out the rest on my monitor. And i see that i'm not the only person to have made this observation.
I'm honest in my comments and scoring and I know it sucks when someone doesn't get or agree with what you're going for, but thats the problem with subjective mediums.
I truly love the thumbnail version of this - if i could get that same effect from seeing it full size this would've been a 7 or an 8, but as it only came together in a tighter package (thumbnail) then it's just missing that *something* during voting. I spent about 5 minutes looking at this before casting my first vote, and about 0.05 seconds to get the thumbnail.
At first i thought the ghost was the white thing that is the lady's nose, i couldn't unsee that as the focal point until the thumbnail, but what has been seen cannot be unseen after, i'm able to make out the details in the larger picture now, but it's still not as cohesive an image.
loses a lot without being able to see the thumbnail, and that will lose points from me in this. it's a great concept, but thumbnail viewing should not be required to get the effect of your image. otherwise make your image smaller for the submission.
3/10 because you need the thumbnail to get the proper proportionate detail.
Wow, what a crazy analysis, but that's your prerogative, I wish it was possible to broaden your outlook, I mean this in a constructive way. I think this is brilliant and gave it a 10, I would rather have not seen the thumbnail because it locks the image into a somewhat fixed form. I love the abstractness of the larger image, it speaks volumes for the talent of this artist.
I really like this, wonderfully distinct yet ambiguous, and has a wonderful sense of sorrow. The thumbnail gives it away, I like this big version, it takes me away somewhere else.
