An image that would stand alone and that I can picture in a gallery of related images or on an arty greetings card.
Really makes me think about many things but the questions that pop up are probably different for each viewer.
Both visually and conceptually interesting.

It's either a blowup doll or an alien. Am I righit? :D What is really great about this pic is the strong (and equal amounts of) white, black and grey.

I'm not sure that the rotation adds anything other than a momentary interest. 5 Jak

the rotation helps it a lot. I like it. A bit uncomfortable.

OK. I see a goblet on its side . . . no wait, two faces?!?
Just kidding. At first glance the texture of the styrofoam head threw me off with the smooth, blankness of the background. The texture stands out even in contrast to the pores/hair/lines on the human subject's face. Perhaps I'm just not in the mood to make up my mind tonight because this work doesn't seem to present a dichotomy that is easily understood. In several ways it presents a multitude of options for interpretation and I'm vacilating between enjoying the uncertainty with which I view the work and the annoyance of having to look at it over and over again.

OK. The human subject's face could be farther back in the image or the styrofoam face could be closer creating a more homogenous structure as the human face is larger. That is from the side of my brain that wants this creation to just 'fit' instead of stand out.
I also wish the creator had titled this work as it concerns me that he/she might not have known what the goal was in this creation.

En toto this image leaves me with unanswered questions that range far beyond what I expected when I saw it in the list and knew it would be flashing onto my computer screen. Kudos

Hey!! Why are all my favorite shots at the bottom this week? I only gave this an 8 but now I wish I had scored it higher.

Since, it was a self portrait challenge. I think you should have focus closer to you. I focus more on the white washed wall then the two rails then the fence and finally, you.

I don't really "get it," though I do wonder how you got there before the auto-timer went off. :)
