The face is a major element conveying emotion, contrary to the challenge's title and guidelines.

Face is clearly the center--nice closeup, but not for this challenge.

Not what I would call faceless.

But her face is the subject...

Nice dof, but I thought the face of the subject isn't supposed to be "Featured"? I'm going back to check. If I am wrong I will bump up my vote :)

Comment by quiche:
A photo consisting of a person's face hardly meets a "faceless" challenge, no?

Hmm - I'd say the face is quite the subject, even though not the whole face. Still, I'll bet you've heard that already.

I like how the focus is sharpest the eyelashes... the tear streak (if that's what it is) is pretty subtle - I almost didn't notice it. Other than that, there's not a lot here to capture attention.

But don't let this (or other comments) dissuade you. If you like the photo and it has sentimental value to you, ignore the scores and the comments and enjoy it!
