When ever I find myself wondering what the photographer wanted me to see and can not find any subject to connect with I get a little uneasy about how to vote, I want to like this image because it leads me through to opening but when I go through I just do not find where I should go from there, I guess in a sense that causes me to stop and ponder the image but when I do I am still not sure whether to like it or not. If I look at the image purely as an abstract it does not really work for me but the fact that it has me baffled has created a weird interest so I guess well done, I think, maybe...

Great focus on the eye, wish the DOF was just a hair wider to catch the nose too but some times you just can't have it all. 6

Nicely done, I wish I could get them to hold in one place long enough to get a shot like this.

One of those images were I am not sure what I am supposed to look at, I find the colors to be somewhat interesting but then my eyes go to the black and white blurry area which makes the image seem confusing. As an abstract image it falls short of making me personally want this on my wall but may appeal to others. Good luck in the challenge and I look forward to seeing the thoughts others may have about this image.

Interesting subject, love the ice hanging off and the nice bokeh in the back ground. The only down side is the blurred twig coming out of the front but overall a pleasing image.
