aww, this was totally underrated. I gave it a 6 and thought it deserved it: ie. I think its final score should have been in the 6 range. The eyes are just so perfect! Awesome picture, even if other people didn't get it...
I really like the contrast from the well defined subject and the obscure background. The picture also has a very "mysterious" aspect to it, as it really catches your eye. The "look" in the eyes is absolutely "pleading for help" along with some sadness. The eyes are well seen however, where is the mouth? This adds to the mysterious look. Transparancy.....is in the over all look of this photo. What do you see through this scary mask? Not evil, but a human who ended up in the wrong place. Nice Job-ster. Can't vote on the "Member Challeng" however if I could, I would go with a BIG 9.
is that image grain? that challenge is over and DPC is all smooth - all the time. Just kidding. I can't say I'm too excited about this picture though. Just not that great a subject.
