I've done quite a few self portraits in my time at DPC and I wanted to disguise myself in a comical kind of way. I used a slight neatimage to make the skin look more fake/cartoony (only 10% I think) and the expression is kinda weird :S A perfect caricature of me then!
I have absolutly no idea how will this will do. I'm being different to the norm, which normally means a bad score.

I really like the lighting on this. I think that the angle and framing/cropping are good as well. Really adds some personality. focus on your eye is great, and detail is wonderful. definately unique. Great shot! ~Heather~
Well, I thought I found my winner - but now I chnage my mind. Probably the most sharpest image in the entire contest (I can't belive how many people are oof).
Without a doubt the most original (so many people with the balck & white - hard shadow composition - myself included)
The eye and bridge of nose is technicaly perfect.
I think you have done a really amazing job at capturing the look and feel of a caricature. The dark background and lighting have certainly served to add to the drama of your shot as well as your expression. Creative self portrait!! nice job!!
Powerful impact and incredible use of light to define shape. I love how you are tricking the eye into seeing a slightly different reality.
Great, slightly abstract feel.
Good composition.

Very original, to me.
Hey,
Whoa. Very Caricature like. Very surreal. I think you hit on what you where looking for here. Nice crop. Technically well done, but this one doesn't hold any personally appeal with me.
Gives me the impression your face is made out of plastic :-) Excellent lighting, the expression is priceless and your idea, very original. Cool how you made the mouth area look like a black hole. And of course I know who this is :-) - 9.
Hands down my favorite in the competition (and there were a lot of good ones). The expression....the quality of the skin.... you look like you're wearing a mask. The lighting (or lack there of) adds to the emotive quality... reminds me of a mime show. Well done, and top marks overall. I hope to see this one win!
