Great concept! The focus isn't quite tack sharp which takes away from its impact.

I give you a 7 for sheer concept... and for topicality. the danger to a democracy is that this is the only view of self that will matter.

I think that a portrait needs a face in it ... hopefully your "portrait" isn't on file with the FBI!

A tad DNMC, but my vote has more to do with the lack of focus.

Love the idea but the image quality is not so good, needs to be sharper and clearer, this looks moved.

Well, you're more than a thumbprint, dammit! You're also a retina scan, social security number, DNA and facial reconition! :) Clever.
