Hey, not a bad finish for a mud-pie, right? Course I would have placed it alot higher, but knowing how hard this crowd is on portraits, you did good!
I really love this photo too :)

Well, hopefully this won't reinforce your earlier impression of me heheh.
I voted 4 or lower so here comes my opinion:
- the eyes are pretty whacked out. Particularly the right one where the whiting out has given your iris some straight edges.
- the composition. Given that those white eyes are the real poppers in this shot against all the darkness, I thought they could have been placed for much better effect. Maybe you were going for a different sort of look here and that's cool, but to me it looked like you were just slightly out of frame when you took the shot.
- the negative space. this is part of the composition, but it's worth addressing separately. far too much pointless deadspace above your head that doesn't add anything to the photo. I liked the band of lighter gray (black?) to the right of your face and I think were you centered in the frame that would have added a nice highlight around you and given the darkness above and below some impact.
- the concept. My own submission was pretty cliche, so I didn't specifically ding this one for being another painted face shot. However it does keep one from getting really psyched about the image when the first thing that comes to mind is 'another xyz shot'.
Anyway, I just bitched about wishing people who voted 4's on my shot would have left a note so turnabout is fair play. Also, having obviously read your write-up for the shot, I'm betting what's under the mask would make for an interesting shot. Hard as it might be to put it out there, seeing something unusual in a challenge full of average looking mugs might just work in your favor.
Good luck, I'll crawl back under the bridge now. |
