An abstract view of the challenge but very harsh on the contrast and shadows. Nice texture in some areas.

I think the idea is really good, a face made of the cracks/shapes in the mud. However, it probably is not the best idea to sell "dirt" in the challenge. From a technical point of view, it looks overprocessed, sort of like too much HDR or something like that. ~4

Scary, may have added a marble for the eye, it's not easy to see what it is.

I think the processing has destroyed the texture here. It looks neither dirty nor like mud.
