New Hat

Lovely, just lovely, AlanInPink! Pink suits you, and it contrasts beautifully with the blue eyes, tie, and background (although a touch of rouge/lipstick to match the pink would have perfected it). And the gray hair makes it look so dignified!

I should get serious. As a self-portrait, I think this is quite good, and one of the best entries. It is a nice "traditional" presentation, yet it has funk, and shows (I think) quite a bit of your character. I really like it. (10)

Is there something stuck between my teeth?

Makes me think it's a "un-portrait", since instead of the viewer looking at you, you are looking at the viewers. Interesting concept.

Good one! One of the best in the challenge. Beautifully done. If I were to be picky about one thing, it's the tag on your scarf, I wish you'd turned the scarf to not show it. Otherwise, perfect. ~10

Windows

He, he, the eyes are the windows to the soul, but these eyes, they are hiding behind real windows, like, "I don't really want you to know who I am".

Came back. This image is haunting. Deb, right? Without meaning any offense whatsoever, I wish there were more texture to the face; the skin, with the wrinkles and imperfections, is beautiful, and I would like to see it up front, no softening whatsoever, just the natural beauty that it is. The soft, shiny, dark scarf is the perfect contrast to the skin. I wish there was just a smidgeon more room at left (so that the end of the eye area were not cut off and the face shape would have a slightly more upward swing), and I wish the background were not as dull (some sort of texture or something out of focus there). ~9
