Thus was meant to be entered in both the plus one portrait challenge and the motivational one. Both times I forgot. Got it into the free study in the end though.

I like this image. Can't begin to guess how it'll be lapped up though.

Apologies - no time for a 'Longer Look' comment before challenge end. I'll come back after.

Back to update this comment. Apologies, I'd forgotten I'd be in an Internet black hole before rollover.

I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.

Positives: Standout texture and toning on this image - and the relationship between your head and 'hers'. The catchlight in the eye is just brilliant and offer the sense of nailed focus that anchors the image. The slight vignette is perfectly judged too

Critical stuff: I have really mixed views on your cropped neck - part of me wants a bit more space for you, the other half likes what it does to subjugate you to the lamp/light - in offers a rich metaphor.

Overall: Unusually well made image - conceptual and simple. Well played.

Looks like you are considering doing the famous lampshade-on-the-head routine. I told you to avoid those late pub nights!

Interesting perspective. It has an almost surreal feeling. :) 7
