Thanks so much for the positive comments.
I must admit that I had an advantage, having no style of my own and basically just trying to improve through visual plagiarism.
My second best score and best finish so far. I think I am on to something.

For the next challenge, I guess I should have copied Gyaban.

Nicely done. I like what the focal length did to your face, and the background is a key element.

I get lines similar to the line between the forehead and hat. It happens when I use Topaz Adjust HDR effect...just a FYI I use DxO Optic Pro for similar but cleaner effect....giving the photo a pretty good vote anyway....
