I've been trying to figure out how you did this, and I can't! It's one of my favorites this week... a very unusual, out of the norm take on 'prortrait'. Your image really has that quality that makes people stop and wonder. Nice job...

I have been back 4 times to look at this image/art :) It's real interesting! Seems like I see 2 people. A person on the bottom and a face in the center? Great job!

I think that a portrait should show some detail and something of the person's personality. This is a very abstract shot and abstract photography is my favorite but I don't think that it really fits here. All I can really see is one closed eye and a mustache.

This is much too abstract for me. I do like some "art" shots, but this one is a little over the edge for me. I can make out a man's face, but the whole photo leaves me with more questions than answers.

Dying to know how you pulled this off..., but anyway, one of my favs for this challenge. At first I wasn't sure what to make of it, but I kept coming back to it and it kept growing on me ... one of the few original and interesting shots.

This is one of those artistic types of shots that is probably wonderful, but is way over my head. I can't score it high (since I don't like it) but I won't score it low either, since I can see it to be artistic.

- i am going to see what it looks like printed........ i like it, looks better in print......... and high score for showing some experimental b&w. Unique painterly quality - ie. Francis Bacon

What is this, Fire? Looks a little over processed to me. Still an interesting shot. Jacko.

I'm sorry. I really don't like this photo. There is no portrait in here to me... even as symbolic it may be.

I can make out the eye and the cheek but I don't know what the rest of it is. It will be interesting to see what you did.

You probably worked real hard to get this but it doesn't do anything for me. Sorry.

I'm not sure what effect I'm looking at here, but it's simply too abstract for me. There is a bit of a face in the middle, but not enough to see an expression or get a sense of meaning from the face. I don't see how the face connects with the surrounding streaks of black and white or what purpose the effect serves. I personally don't mind a distorted effect on a face, but I'd like to still be able to find some meaning or expression on that face, and see how or why it is distorted by some effect. 3
