A nice change to see a different format of poster although I cannot easily find the de-moitvation you are trying to convey.

Interesting image. The old and the really old. The wide angle effect to the out-of-focus area at the top is a bit uncomfortable to look at, and the result is that my eye often returns to the subject of the portrait. I'm intrigued that an image has made me "feel" that way. In that regard, you've accomplished more than creating an image.
My mom has the complete set of china like that bowl, brought over from Germany in 1953; a memory evoked by this image.
Additionally, this is the first time I've felt that a title is worth an extra point.

This is a very different image... has an almost scary feel to it... very blair witch.

Gotta love it when nature hands you a wonderful palette like this.

It took a while to get the idea, but after four views, it finally penetrated this very thick skull. Different and unique - a minimalist image that is very effective, but needs more than one view to get the concept. Subtle lighting and the very slight blue cast to the image could be seen as overly subtle, but to this reviewer it works. Even though this reviewer liked the image on first view, it did take four views to fully understand why. Not sure if that is good or bad. Well done.

This is an instance of my "vote by thumbnail system" failing me.
I missed this in voting, it is a surreal work of art.
