Interesting photo but not one I like. I find it lacking subject or interest. I think it would make an excellent advertising shot with the right title but does nothing for me in this challenge. I do like how the mouth is still and the rest is blurred. Good luck in this challenge. <5>
That's kind of haunting. Very effective image suitable of the title. Is there a way you could perform this excercise on my family? Overall, I think you've done a very good job. Extremely creative work. Technically it's pretty good. I wish the bright spots weren't there though.
