Interesting that the background is asymmetrical while the subject is symmetrical. Different which is good.

Took me a second, but I finally got what was bothering me- it's a different take on color/black and white. I like it - the image forces one to really take a closer look. What a great concept and the execution is flawless. Well done.

I'll be honest - I don't get it. This just doesn't make any sense to me as it seems to miss the point of the challenge - not sure how this is "symmetrical" in the ordinary sense of the word.

The heck of it is that I can see the face, but the image is much too busy to have a really strong effect which is unfortunate.

I had to come back to this a couple of times as I couldn't make up my mind if the top of the image works for or against the overall merit of the image. I've settled on work against - everything else just seems to perfect then you view the top and you kind of question why you think that way. I think it's the imperfection as compared to the rest of the image that is annoying. Also the whites are just a tad over done.

HA!! Love it - very clever and another good example of outside the box thinking. Excellent.

Looks almost like back scatter interference from a electron microscope. Very simple and elegant - nothing wrong from an artistic or technical standpoint, it is just uninteresting to this observer - no pop or wow factor.

I can't decide if the center focus distracts or adds to this image. From an artistic point of view, this is an interesting image and it's technically competent, I just can't decide if I like it or not. Always error on the side of the author - in this case an 8 instead of a 6.
