This is a plaster cast of my face, made for stage makeup (latex prosthetics, etc.). Since I never appear on stage and don't care for acting all that much (I'd much rather direct and write plays), it ends up spooking everybody as I move it around to suprise folks. It is entwined here with my favorite vine: five-leafed akebia.
This is one of the few photos that turned out just like I had imagined it! Maybe I'm improving after all!

Thanks for your comments, everyone who did. I figure that some folks didn't think it was *gardeny* enough? It would be nice to know, as I was very pleased with the shot. It's one of my few shots where it came out as planned and where I felt I knew what I was doing the whole time!
This was my favorite shot in the competition. I'm surprised others didn't agree. Your idea, composition, tones and interpretation of the theme make this a winner to me. Congrats on a great photo.
I really thought this would either place, or come in top 10. (Although 55/352 is nothing to sneeze at.) I really like this alot. It shows so much more than most photographs. You should be proud of this one!
Missed this one during the voting, but this is a fantastic shot! I love the low-key subdued tones and the symbolism connected with the title. Would have been a solid 10 from me. I'm jealous... VERY nicely done, David!
This is just incredible. Grigrigirl is this you? If you're someone else, take that question as a compliment because I love her work. If it were up to me I'd end the challenge right now and declare this the winner.
fabulous. the imagery, the symbolism, the angle, ... it is appropriately dark -even still, I'd like to see it just a tad brighter or contrasty.. but I wouldn't want to ruin the tones either. (confused yet? LOL)
overall .. exceptional!
I'm already coming back to this.. It is already a favorite.
This is definitely 'cool' :) This particular theme shows me a lot of photographic creativity and the black and white is an excellent choice as well. I have no improvement suggestions for you on this. I think the low key works well with the theme of 'speak no evil' suggested by the title. = 10
