| I picture this being more effective with a good crop on both sides . Needs height not width. |

| I like this shot, generally, but there's a darker black box right under the chin that's just getting to me a bit. |

This uses a common technique applied in many, many images in this challenge.
It has four technical flaws that will hold down its score.
First, it does not have a true black point. Giving it a black border makes that very obvious even to the casual viewer. That should be corrected. Your black background should be just as black as your border.
Second, the face is not level. When something is close to but not actually level it acts as a distraction to most viewers. That is true in this case. The image should be rotated counterclockwise perhaps as much as two or three degrees. It is vey obvious. If this were done intentionally then you need a stronger angle (more than 15 degrees) to be effective.
Third, the image has a mottled unfocused look that will be interpreted by most voters as a poorer quality image even if it were intentional.
Four, the area below the lower lip is overexposed and will make most voters feel this is a lower quality image and not an intentional artistic statement. |

| Fits the challenge ok to me. However, compositionally, I feel that this image could be stronger either by filling the frame more or getting out of the center, but maybe that's just me :-) |

| Very very nice. I would have preferred it without the border. I also think that I would have preferred either centering the face 100%, or using the rule of thirds to stick it off to the side as well. Nonetheless, the face is superb so it gets a good vote. 8 |

| spooky looking!!! I actually like the thin white border...almost gives it a 3-D feel |

| Great for meeting the challenge, I think. Though would have preferred this so much more without the border and with a slightly different composition (more toward a portrait rather than landscape orientation). Still - an 8, I think. |
