| This is, quite simply, a beautiful photograph. Deserves to be printed and hung proudly. |

| Lovely photo, not sure if it meets the challenge, probably not, but neither do I sometimes. 9 |

| It is a wonderful thing being out in nature, the power of the sea. |

I like this. Many will bleat that it isn't a portrait, but it is for me. A picture like this of my late father, for example, would have been a perfect portrait of him.
The conventional approach to portraits is of course the close up head shot with the pimped eyes and grotesquely smoothed skin. Or the gnarly head shot with the grunge processing.
The conventional approach to the challenge topic ('classic portrait' and 'typically captures the face' blah blah blah) is to be constrained by it, rather than liberated by it.
You'll be getting blasted for your audacity, just as did this fellow traveler.
Convention and blind obedience suck, don't they? Why go along, just to produce something two-dimensional and instantly forgettable? So BRAVO you, and please accept my top pick, a 10, and an Order of the Thumb.
Thank you.

| Its a really good image,but will be ignored as it is faceless. Do it again another time. |

| Wonderful environmental portrait. This says a lot about the subject even though he/she is only represented by a small silhouette. |

| Sadly, this fabulous image is in the wrong challenge. Despite its incredible power, this is too far outside the definition of portraiture for voters to relate it as such. |

| While I like the image, I'd hardly call it a portrait |
