Love the picture and the grain but the jpeg/sharpening artefacting (at least that's what I think it is) really detracts and distracts.

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: This is a bold and magnificent portrait. Bold pose, bold light, bold colour, bold processing, bold subject. Some will hate the rope but I love it.

Critical stuff: Some will hate the rope!

Overall: pushes the boundaries and challenges preconceptions. Great stuff.

Positives: I love how you've pushed those colours. The shuddering trail of lights fascinates.

Critical stuff: Not the most interesting scene (but I love what you've done with it).

Overall: great vision.
