The first thing this reminded me of, and in part it is because I noticed who took it, is a hood ornament from days gone buy. A hood ornament, personified. And now I see I am not the only one as I just glimpsed other comments!
What I find astonishing here is the importance of the ear. Perfect shape, almost flower like, the only really defined detail. In this underwater feel, the ear picking up sounds and directions is the saving grace
Looking at the thumb I was thinking underwater so was (pleasantly) surprised when viewing at 100%. The focus falloff at the edges keeps my eyes within the image and the creased background works really well :) (I think I've worked out the angle now).
I've looked at dozens (it'd be hundreds, really) of your pictures, and never seen anything like this. I can hardly believe you did it, which is no criticism of you or the picture, it's just that I was surprised, as if I came upon an album of Grace Slick singing Streisand songs. I'd listen to it, just as I look at this. Grace's DNA would still shine through on 'People', just as your tones and understatement shine through in this.
Actually, on reflection I'm wrong. Half wrong. Grace Slick could not sing 'People'. But you certainly can do this. So it's a pleasant surprise after all.
Thank you.
