Such fantastic eyes, and you captured this without resorting to burning the edges of the iris -- or if you did, it's admirably subtle. A beautiful portrait.

Wow, great photo. I tried something slightly similar once (catching my shadow on a moving vehicle), but this is much better. "TI HTROW SYAWLA" is clever, but takes the focus of the main subject -- a really cool self-portrait.

I didn't get to vote in this challenge, but looking through the entries I was struck by this thumbnail. I think your chrome bars need sharper focus, but aside from that, this is a first entry you can be proud of.

I'm sorry reading previous comments to see you've already had some controversy! As you know now, it is best not to talk about types of entries, especially during the challenge. On the other hand, the question about "the way of the Netherlands" was inappropriate and rather bizarre. Probably just a comment dashed off in anger, so don't let it bother you.

Cheers,

Stumbled across your portfolio -- you have some great photos. This one, for example -- it's really "simple" in a way, but it is beautiful! Keep up the great work.

Wonderful photograph -- so up close and personal. Intense expression.

The subjects (props, costume, and especially the model) deserve a better backdrop and better lighting! The glare on the ornament is bad and the shadow on the wall is unfortunate. However, you get *adorable* points from me.

Frankly, I'm stunned this didn't do better. It was one of the few 10s I gave. I'm trying to find fault: are the images perhaps too soft? Maybe the epitaph is cropped too close? Or do you think people just didn't like the subject matter? I guess you'll never know. This is a wonderful triptych, so don't let the score tell you otherwise. Best wishes,

I agree with your choice to go with the duotone, but this is beautiful, too. Congratulations on your blue ribbon!

Nice photo! You are very kind to call the derogatory comments "helpful" -- though I suppose with the right attitude we can learn from everyone.
