This is my favorite! What a cool idea. Not only do you get top marks for being unique, but technically, you've done a gread job as well. I hope to see this one finish high.
Love this shot, great concept and I can tell you whats wrong, you've only got half a brain, can't complain about composition or color tones. Final diagnosis is you will live for a long time.
Super, personal work. I like your concept and it's a well taken photo. I think the only thing I would have liked to see is perhaps a little more contrast across your face. You've captured the form well, though. 8 - floyd
Very nice shot... one thing I'd have done is maybe crop out about 1/2 of the brain xray. It's a little "much". ie., you don't need all of it to convey the message. Good job. 8.
Ah, now I see the problem - that little spot on the right side. But really, what about the eyes - one light, one dark? But really, really, I like the concept and the execution. Good work.
I'm a geneticist (with an undergrad degree related to neurology), so I'm partial...but this is definitely my favorite. Very creative, thought provoking, striking contrast, perfect focus! 10!!
great concept...I can say that because I almost did something very similar. :)
I really do like the photo, though I wish you were a little more focused.
I think a portrait should reveal some character, or emotion of the model, by showing expression in eyes or other facial features. Did your picture accomplish that? Yes Sir!
Lighting:good
Exposure. good
Focus:very good
Creativity:above average, very good idea.
Composition:good
Background:good
Nice clarity on the eyes, which is quite important. I also like that you are smiling...rare!
Very good job!
This tells a very impactful story. It makes me think about what you've been (or are going) through. Despite a quite plain composition the lighting is good.
Greetings,
Is this your Picture? Your 58 years old? I keep thinking that this is a X-Ray, and then how you got the contrast so high. But I guess this is a Cat Scan, or something similar (hense the Magneton). I think if you were partially standing in front of the XRay/CatScan it might have tied the two together more, instead of seeming like two separate pictures.
I like it! It's a good pic AND it's funny and original. Perhaps having your head in the same position as the x-ray may have helped relate the two, but I like it as it is.
je.je. e nice photo.. but your face is blurry, it would be nice to have more detail in your expression (eyes) but its creative..=) congratulations.. =)
