Me

This is a peculiar crop. I am not sure I care for the cutting off of the left eye, and I definitely don't like how the iris is tangent to the image edge. I am bothered by the truncation of the chin, the way the curve of the jaw takes us nowhere. Then the ear is also whacked. Overall, it's like an "edgy" crop, but then the image itself is so smooth and soft, so those aren't working in concert for me.

Still, for all of that, it's an appealing image, and the focal eye is quite compelling.

I'd be a lot happier with this one if I could really make out some detail around the feet...

I'm actually quite taken by this image. It's among the group in this challenge I appreciate very much. There's a certain deadpan inevitability about it.

The more I look at this the more it grows on me. There's an odd disconnect between the expression and the title :-)

This is very nicely done, but the head-piercing twig bugs the heck out of me... I also wish you'd off-centered the figure just a tad more, it's uncomfortably close to being dead-center. Beautiful processing though.

Whoo, I am sorry I missed this! It is absolutely beautiful, and the title is to die for :-)
