 I had a lot of ideas, but no unction to set them up. Decided to see if I could "find" something.

I had a first edit, and it looked really good (prolly a full point higher than this one, hahahah), and just as I was saving it, my laptop cut off. ugggggghhhhhhhhhhhhh.

it feels tilted to the left to me, but "correcting" it is making it really soft, and I don't have time to do the whole thing again. oh well. cookies to whomever complains about the tilt. i feel your pain.

so, here we are.

the lights are the eyes, and if you look at the grill, you can see teeth and everything.

No explanations needed. My favourite in the challenge. Certainly the most expressive.

I like the view and treatment, though I think it may be cropped a little tight.

Hey, there! Lookeee my smile, don't I have a great dentist!

Love this rural shot with the tractor. His smile has 'teeth' (those white parts of the grate) and a lots of gaps between his teeth too. Great find! And look, his eyes even have eyebrows!!! I like the processing too - gives this an earthy feel that complements the rural 'portrait':-) Bumping up to a 10.
