Definately a different look, obviously meets the challenge. Good use of macro settings which created a wonderful dof for you.
The upper lip was definately your center of focus in as much as the intensity of the texture and grains within the lip. However at the same time the amout of distortion use probably hurt you in this case cause the photo just isn't eye appealing to most. Text books call this kind of distortion "dog nosing" and warn about the use, although in this case you weren't trying for beauty you were trying for effect.
This photo was well thought out and executed equally well. Keep up with the interesting angles if nothing else it makes you think when you see them and thats what its all about making people stop and take notice =o)
I know it's what you intended, but the forced perspective and total blur on everything but the upper lip induces a bit of vertigo in me, as if I were leaning back and forth from the screen. Good concept, execution somewhat lacking.
Very unusual and very unflattering. It's a unique shot and perspective. I don't like that the lips and nose look so large and the cheeks look puffy - if someone took this picture of me, I'd scream! lol Nice lighting and unique view.
unusual image, I quite like it...... certainly a different perspective..... good tonal range.... though may be a little blown out on the cheek and the forehead..... good luck, Todd.
Very unusual and very interesting. I don't usually care for up the nostril shots, but I kind of like this one. Lots of texture in the lips, I think this photo is very well done. I like the sepia, although you could have made it just slightly less brown. Nicely done photo, with a different angle on what could have been a very plain subject. -8-
