I really wanted to participate in this challenge, but I couldn't find a model, so I used myself ( again ) as a model.
This is my second submission in a challenge. Hope my photo will do better this time.

After the challenge:
Thanks everyone for voting, commenting and adding my photo to your favorites! To be honest I wasn't quite sure about my choice for this one, I've been hesitating about a few photos for 2 days before I finally submitted this one.
I'm very happy with all the comments and this score, so thanks!
I also used this one for day 9 in the Selfportrait Challenge.

I expected this to finish in top 5. I'm really surprised to see it at 69'th place. This is very original, different and well processed. This is real work of art. I would like to know how you did it esp post-processing.
I am trying to comment on any picture I vote 4 or less. I am not professional photog by any means, but trying to justify my scoring with the hope that it helps.
Too artsy for my taste. I don't know what's there on the face below the eye, I would have scored high without that.
For some reason I really liked this when I saw the little thumbnail, but was dissapointed when saw it in bigger size. I guess it's the fake skin/make-up around the eye. I think it would have looked better just without that. It's an original idea, though, so you get plus points for that. 7
