This is really cool Kate...I didn't vote or even really look at many of the "obsolete" entries...I came across one entry that turned my stomach a bit and ran the other way...anyway...love the B & W and the grain...grain is good, grain is tasty. I keep asking myself...how would have some of these people coped with film, you know what I mean?...the face too, and that nasty crack...all together they conjure up a somewhat sinister mood...I like a bit of sinister, maybe because I'm left handed perhaps? It's the eye...that eye is what puts this image over the edge...
Oh! You totally got ripped off score wise!
IMHO this was one of the best - and that matters more than what the general voters think because i have an ego big enough to cover all of them :p
I came back to this photo for a second look. At first it somewhat bored me, but the more I look at it, the more I like it. The crack is cool, and the face in the photo is placed right. Bumping up.
