Very cool and creative image. I like the image apart from the challenge. A rather abstract interpretation and maybe well out of the box. But still a great image. Bumping up to 9.

One of the best portraits in the challenge IMO. The background is a wonderful frame. The colors, bokeh and patterns work wonderfully together. Great detail and focus on your model and the fact that your model isn't one of those super pretty people (not that he is ugly by any means - just a normal guy) adds to the realness of the image. Well done.

Very pleasing image. I do enjoy a good blurry shot. I wish it was a bit brighter, that the whites were a notch or two lighter. But overall I think this is a great capture. The border is a bit heavy for the image, but that didnt factor into my vote. 8

Landed right about where I thought didn't it? It was nice to see it in the 6s though mid week. I was rooting for it to hold there. Still - a 5.9+ is nothign to sneeze at - well done.

Great shot. Love that you can still see a smile. Your processing style is very appealing.

Excellent portrait. Lighting and detail are spot on. Has a feel of Larus about it. I expect this to score very well.
