 haha, yea thats lil' ol' me. I bought the glasses at D.I. for $1. And it took me awhile to figure out what to do with them. Should i pretend to look old? put them on my butt like on The Simpsons? Well, i finally thought of the stereotypical "nerd" from school. And just thought of the loneliness and outcast feelings one might have to go through. Poor kids. Ah, oh well. They'll make more money then me in the long run.

Came to your profile and was surprised not to see this in your top 7. I gave this an 8 in voting. Still think its an excellent image.

Well done. I like how the model is offset to the right.

Nice portrait. Wish I could see her eyes but I understand it's about the moment.

Good image, I'm just not caring for it. I think it's the expression with the downward look. I'm just not getting what is really going on. I'm not sure it fits with the title for me.

Great moodiness to this shot. Wonderful model & perfect glasses. Perfect in b&w. Back to bump you up to 8.

Interesting lighting. Wide angle accentuates the size of the glasses which works well with your title. Vignette is nice.

I like the way you have communicated a real feeling of distance here. I find myself wishing the model would look up to make eye contact. Well done.

Beautiful picture; you've captured the feeling perfectly.

Would this have been better if she was looking up at the camera. I don't like the heavy dark area on the left of the frame - it draws attention away from the subject and is unbalanced compared to the right hand side.
