Ah... at least I have the comfort of knowing the score will be a low. Sorry, tribe, but this looks like a portrait to me, and my fairy tale reference places him solidly in the male camp.
No crop. Shadow/Highlight, levels, curves at reduced opacity to bump the contrast, resize, USM. Oh, and a sexy new walkabout lens.

While I can understand some thinking this might be a stretch b/c they can't really tell whether it is really a male or female you would think they would give the benifit of the doubt with the title, obviously this shot was thought through. I find it pretty crazy that this scored that as low as it did. I could see a low to mid 5's but 3.85...wtf?.. Oh well, what do I know anyway. Clever idea and orginal, nicely done regardless of the score.
I love the clarity of the water and the ripples. I also like the patterns of the weeds. Oh, and the prince is quite handsome too. Nice light and color. The score may be low but your photo is on the page for the top scoring images for your lens.
No specification at all in the challenge description that the portrait had to be of a human. 35 ones is outrageous. I like the detail of the underwater flora, a frog in his element.
