when I saw this I thought it was great, but then I saw that the object that you were "painting" wasn't the whole object (silly rule IMO), and they have been discussing this alot on DPC with several pictures...I still think this is a great picture...one of the better ones in the challenge.

Face is a little out of focus, unfortunately. Otherwise, great idea.

this would have been just great if the focus on the eye were sharp

It is an image reminiscent of this shot



This has all the makings of a great image. But for me the focus is in the wrong place, and the lighting is a bit soft. Plus I'm not sure what's going on with the pupil, which is VERY oddly shaped (but gorgeous eyes color.
