Not expecting a whole lot from this. Might do better in another kind of challenge, but it's what I have this week. What I am hoping to do is to have the voter think the quarter face was digitally created, when it was actually a bust that does look that way, similar to this one on Amazon. Probably not what was expected, but perhaps it will be visually strong enough to hold it's own.
Post-challenge notes:
Quite pleased with how this one did. A 6+ and the comments tell me it had strong appeal for many folks.

So hard to tell if real or fake but I will guess real. Very cool image. Love the contrasts - I'm kind of assuming this is a reflection - if not, maybe I was fooled after all.
There's something powerful about this. I'm not a huge fan of the weird and obscure and here's the but; but this piques my curiosity. Is it graffiti? A portrait with texture overlay? Who is it? Why did you do it? And so on. An odd 8 for the 'posthumous' in me...somewhere :)
Oh, I love this. I think it is a photo of a sculpture with a 'scratched' overlay. So, because of the overlay, I'd say NOT REAL. Of course, you could have used a scratched filter or piece of glass to accomplish this, so I'm not at all sure.
This is a very cool image. Dark and ominous. I'm going to say this is a real statue with some texture overlays. I might be wrong about that, and I'd be glad either way. It's a neat image.
