True indeed, 111 seems quite harsh, I personally loved the photo, thought it was very creative, much more than my own submission, but I guess that is what is great about photography, so many different interpretation on the same image. Either way, nicely done.
Very creative - nicely done. The eye is a little big and set back, but I'm not sure anything can be done about that. Lighting is a little uneven, but overall I like it.
