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

Pensive

Beautiful, moody portrait, I particularily like the shapes created by the light areas, the heart shape of the neck/hair mirrored in the general shape of the face, the upside-down heart shape of the lips. My one complaint, I wish there was just a smidgeon more at top, so that the right eye (or left in the image) were not almost cut off. ~9

Bear, what, no glasses? And if this isn't Bear_Music I'll have to eat my keyboard or something. Lovely (sounds weird for this image), but yes, lovely self-portrait! ~9
