This is ridicolous... How can somebody vote this picture less than a 5? I gave you a 9. This is technically perfect and also creative. I always think that scores below 5 should be for pictures which have bad composition or some sort of technical mistake, but an average good composed and exposed shot with no mistakes shouldn't get less than a 5. I think this site is losing the original intent which was to provide constructive comments (especially if you're ranking 4 and below - EXPLAIN WHY AND HOW TO IMPROVE!!!) and there are some secondary reasons for such votes.
You are such a goofball, this deserves 10 bc I'm sure when you took that tape off, yeahhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaa that would of killed you in pain ;-----------)
Love the squished nose, lol!!
You deserve this, because hey who else would do something like this and suffer the consequences, Hope to see it on the front page.
Jeff, Jeff, Jeff.... Did it hurt when you took it off? Strange image, yet oddly compelling. I really love the colors on this, and how you managed to create a sense of depth despite the flat white bg.
The lighting and the details are spot on with top tier work. The mood of the composition is disturbing which is different from the bulk of your other work which has those touches of whimsy and fun. To me the mood/statement is that we are prisoners not from the red tape but from the seemingly invisible constraints that squeeze upon us be it society, government, work, family, or ourselves (like issues of self-esteem or fears).
And you are going to pull your "selfies" from DPC why? Screw the lowballers. They couldn't pull this off if they tried. Most of them have yet to grow a beard (or breasts)... Brilliant, topical, high marks from me. Sadly no AK47 toting madmen in the BG.
