Extremely pleased and grateful for the comments, especially since it looks like it will be a brown ribbon winner.
And thrilled to get the spurgeon sturgeon.

Keep coming back to this one. Obviously different, and will beat me to the Brown. I happen to find this fascinating. It provided a pathway to ponder vision; the shades, from black to white, forming shapes, driving thought, and encouraging imagination. A truly enjoyable experience. Cheers.

great reward to those who try to decipher this (even if unsuccessfully).

Too abstract for the challenge for me.

What is this marvel? It is meaningless AND profound. It is grainy and 3-d and dimensional and throbbing.

Nice take on the eyes, love the patchwork effect.

Like a charcoal drawing - beautifully integrated portrait in this exercise but the expression remains somehow random, due to the medium. I like a lot the contour of the head. I would have cropped half of the face (the man's right eye) and left the right side with the background.
In any case, I find this shot like a breath of fresh air in this challenge.

I can see the eyes, great shot.

Best eyes in show. Top ten. Thank you.

This is almost like a photocopy of another low quality photocopy; insanely noisy, contrast is too dark, no point of focus, seemingly no real thought to composition and the apparent point of interest isn't even really legible. I can just about make out a face but the quality of this image is so low I feel I can't give higher than the minimum vote, sorry.
 11/24/2011 04:11:36 PM
Really good. The verticals and soft contrast points work beautifully.

This looks like a pen and ink drawing that was dropped in water. I like the way the tones transition from one another.

Gwahhhh. Creepy, odd, dark, brilliant, inspired, what more can I say?

I never get these shots, but someone does.

I love the fact that you tried something different, I like the feeling of this photo
  Photographer found comment helpful.

There are a few dark spots that seem to compete for my attention in trying to focus on the eyes. Even given the artistic approach I want to be drawn to the feature in question.
