A little fuzzy, but the colors are great, and the softness seems appropriate. Your facial features are underexposed, so the center seems confusing.

My absolute favourite from this challenge. I don't have much time anymore, but I'll try finishing voting on the 20% just so that my 10 counts ;-)
I love the colours you used, the blur and the high contrast. I'm speechless!

Very unique portrait and one I like very much. I love the way you seperate the two different colors and your use of negative space. The colors are super and the overall effect is very effective. Great job!

Creative use of color.

I think a greater DOF would have improved your portrait, but then again, I sort of like the softness of it all. I really like the colors and the lighting you used - its very dramatic, but not overly so. Good work.

The saturated colors separated by the black are a great idea, but the in-focus shoulder with out-of-focus face is odd.

I like the contrast of colors, the green against the red, but they dominate the picture far more than you do. Your face is blurred and in shadow, and tinged by the adjacent colors in both directions. That may have been your intent, but I find it off-putting for the subject to be so - unsubject-like. The whole photo, really, seems to lack a focus, with the only thing not blurred in some degree being the brilliant but fairly undifferentiated green. My eyes "wow" on the green but they don't quite know where to stop and rest.

very vivid and dynamic, i like it a lot, 8.

Dramatic! Love the choices of color, and because it's done almost as an abstract, the darkness on the right is acceptable as an element. I like!

Wow pretty impressive use of light and colour. Seems bound to score badly on DPC but I love it. Well done. 9 - floyd

This is a stupendous photo!

Daring shot. I'm sure you're getting killed for this, but I love it. The colors are wild but they contrast the figure great.. and the blur fits well. Great work. 9

I like the feeling of mellowness in this picture. Although the focus isn't perfect, it still appeals to me very much. Gorgeous.

I really like this photo. The green and the red look really great and the fact your face isnt in focus only adds to the great style of the photo. One of my top photos this challenge. 9

interesting use of colour, quite atmospheric

Looks like you're going for an album cover kind of thing here. Good idea and good colors. But I think a little more light on the face might make it even better.

I really like this. Great colours with some satisfying textures.
06/18/2003 02:24:37 PM
Very cool ;)

Lovely colours and the texture of the photo give it so moody. I like it :-)

idea nice.. =) but too blurry..
06/18/2003 05:49:01 AM
I'd have liked to see a little more of the face.
06/18/2003 12:37:20 AM
Somthing about this image draws me. Very nice colors...Seeing this image, i can't help but to think of Nine Inch Nale videos (music band). This is wonderful, truly wonderful.
