I don't care what others might say, I REALLY like this and wanted to let you know so before the contest ends. It's the anti-portrait, portrait and for me it works well. I'll be interested to see how others viewed this. I don't care... I like it. Good job.
If this really is a recent photo, then this is a great job of antiquing. It looks like some of my family shots taken in the 20's and 30's and even earlier.
I'm not sure of the noise in the image is intentional, but it's not working for me (it looks like a scan of an old/worn image). But what really hurts the image for me is that the eyes fade into black.
did you take a picture of a picture? It looks like it, but maybe you did do all this in photoshop. I am not going to vote on this one since I am not sure what you did here.
