I gave this an 8 during voting, and I'm surprised it didn't finish higher. I think it's quite attention-grabbing and aesthetically pleasing, as well as very unique. Very striking.
One of the most creative and unusual shots in the challenge ... a nice break from all the product shots. I like the use of shallow DOF here, and the soft edges in the background. Very creepy expression ... just what is he planning to do with that whisk? :>)
