I like the appliation of the theme here and use of WA lens. However, I'm not a fan of the treatment (straight B&W would have been better than the greenish tint) and cropping the left side such that those stairs run up and out of the lower left corner would have made the composition stronger IMO.

Stunning shot - but I'm not sure I see how it meets the challenge. Oh... A cricket match? Anyways, you've got a really neat POV here. I like it!

Ok, there is a ragining debte about people's voting habits at the moment, so i will attempt to give a detailed comment with my vote:

So first of all this shot stands out i find. It's simple and the lighting is very effective. Half of your face shows, the other half doesn't. The eye is super effective and the DOF is good. maybe have the ear sharp too but i don't really mind there. THis is a 7 in my opion because there is quality to the image. Not enough to go higher than that but it's most definitely a higher than average shot

The title makes me smile. The picture is nice, maybe a bit too centralized/symmetric.

what is that?
Anyway, it looks very cool,
Perhaps a cropping including only whole "circles" would be be better? I am not sure.
overall a very interesting picture
