| Yes, the floating head is a bit disconcerting. But the beard is great :-) |

| When I first saw this photo, with the DoF, I thought it was a disembodied head. |

Sorry for telling you this but it's not to realistic.
The picture looks interesting but when i looked at the details i had the impression that the head belongs to "another body" :P.

I gave this a 7 thinking it was James Cameron's entry. :P Seriously, as you already mentioned the head effect could have been more refined but in a way was symbolic given the narrative.

| Andrew, such a strange photo... the DOF makes it appear that the large head was cut and pasted onto the background. Also, fair or not, I don't want to see this guy on the front page twice (having already seen him this week detracts somewhat from the one-in-a-billion impact), so I find myself giving this a lower score than it probably deserves. Or maybe not, I really do find it too artificial looking. :-/ |

| Wonderful character in the old man's face, but to me the processing makes the head appear as if it had been pasted into a different photo. |

| Definitely a good story being told here. However, I feel like the post processing, the black shirt, and how it blends into the background sort of make it seem like his head is just floating apart from his body... and that kinda bothers me. |

| A great subject, but I'm not sure about the processing - it looks like the guy's head is floating away from his body, or like it's a cut and paste job (which I know it is not). |

this one has kept my eye's too long..I love his expression and the composition.
overall the PP is a bit over for me,(looks like his head is hanging in the air..) yet it is a strong one. 9! |

| The DOF seems too narrow too me it makes his head llok like it was cut from a different picture if this was done in post process I would back it off a bit, would have given higher score but... |

Fantastic!
This image goes into my favorite. The composition is interesting, the expression, light, and tone so suitable. Did I mention that the title gives this image an additional dimension.
Very well done. |

| So here he is again. I think you the other one would have been better in this challenge as he's just by himself. Terrific character, nonetheless. |

| I just think it's too much with the sharpening on his face. Would have been really good if more restrained. 6 |
