There's something appealing about this, and I'm not entirely sure what it is. The mood is good, and I actually like the fact that the focus is on the background - even though that doesn't really fit with the portrait theme. Still, this has something special - good job.
Returning for comment: This image invites the bell curve, however, consider my vote on the higher end. The image is not meant as a portrait but rather a semi graphical mood effect. I accept it in that mood.
I can't tell if you set up this shot or took it on the spur of the moment, but I really like the end result. The composition seems well thought out and I love the focus, or lack thereof. :-) Very nice job with this shot.
You look like Kurt Cobain. Well, Kurt Cobain if I was really drunk. I kinda like it with the focus on the shower though. Kind of a dark scary picture this way. Works for me.
Title fits the shot. Unfortunately, the background is not as visually interesting as you might have hoped. There is so little detail in the foreground that overall, this just doesn't work as well as the other submissions.
Like the street vibe of this - nice muted tones, a bit of attitude. Like your expression too and the ambivolence towards yourself. Gritty, textural and refreshing. Good luck. [9]
I dont know why but I reall y like this. I imagine it will score badly but I'm always drawn to the shots that stray away from the norm. It looks a bit like a still from a movie. Well done for making me stop in the dredge through the entries at a genuinely unique and interesting shot. 9
