Incredible concept and very, very moody. This will be a top finisher.

The face in the fence (this particular version is 'kippengaas' in Dutch) isn't that shocking, but the fierce red of the lipstick is. :)

This struck me as an odd dream at first, since it's not one of my dreams but then after a second look I realized to each his/her own dreams. It's an intersting photo and more dreamlike than many other entries. Bumping up. 7

Intriguing dream vision! Nicely done, interesting but simply concept and nicely executed - good lighting.

Returning for comment. Excellent surreal shot perfect for dreams. It works well here, but I wonder if you also tried desaturating the face but not the lips? I'd be curious to see that version if it works as well or better than this one (which is great!)

A bit too much black, it does detract and takes up the most part of the photo. This would look better in B/W IMO.

This reminds me of an album cover I saw somewhere. The harsh lighting really helps accentuate the unnatural feel.
