This shot is very clearly in focus...good job! I think that I might like to see the face turned the other way, with the nose pointing down towards us. It just seems like that might lead the eye better. And at first I thought I might like to see it in color, but after looking more, the lighting comes out so nicely with the black and white. And you have good contrast as well.
Amazing staging! WOW what that must have felt like! LOL Nice job, although I feel like the image is upside down. I (personally) think it would exhibit more quickly and clearly if the face were "right side up". (7)
I starred at this for a good 30 seconds and did not get 'calm under pressure'... to me it seems more something about multitudes, scattered pices, coming together, differences, etc.
love this - had to look for a while b4 i 'got it'. IMO would have helped if you somehow gave the face more emphasis, maybe selective desat or less contrast on the surface texture.
