this is an outtake from the portrait challenge, but I feel the way that the light outlines my head makes it a shape, plus there are strong triangles in here. Even so, I could be a contender for brown... bring it on!

Wow 80th place??? Some people. Oh well I thought this was brilliant and was one of my higher votes. I gave this a 9 as it has more emotion then most of the shots, certainly more then mine. Another great shot Don.
Took me a while to put it together. Immediately made me think of humans changing onto humanoids, and not liking it, then got the title. Thanks for the workout my brain got.
