initially thought this was rather average, but now I am starting to like.. Lets just hope the voters spend a few more seconds looking at this image as it is really quite good.. 8

I'm sorry, but this image is dreadful.. the frame does nothing to compliment the image, the eye is all pixellated like it has either been upsized a lot or some awful photoshop filter has been run on it to make it look like a painting.. I am not usually harsh with my comments, but really, this isnt very good at all..

sorry to be (brutally) honest.. 1

I love the image on the screen, especially the pic on the middle-left. :-)

Seriously though, this would of worked a lot better had the room been completely dark, kept the same exposure you have on the screen (which is bang on) and let the light from the screen highlight the edge of your face.. would of worked better for me.. nice attempt though..

I can see what you trying to do here. (a lot) stronger lighting was needed and a high aperture to get the whole scene in focus.. But I think the lighting lets this shots down.. still, dishing out a 6 for effort and idea.. if you had nailed this shot then it would of been a 8 or 9
