Why on earth didn't this place higher???? One of the best in the challenge, IMHO.

Very strong portrait, and a pleasing subject. I'm surprised it didn't do much better.

Love the face and especially the curls, even the crumbs. Wish I could process my shots as well as you do. I'm so glad you won't be giving up ... look at all those favs!

P.S. Pigeon poo is supposed to be good luck. I guess there's some truth to that. :)

What a beguiling face!!! Too bad about the blurred eye. I love my lensbaby, but have had a few disappointments with it too ... near misses on the focus.

Timmy, I thought this was going to get the blue ribbon. It is the only one in the challenge that stuck in my mind. I didn't understand the title either, but I never judge a photo based on the title. I disagree with the comment that there are no whites in the image ... the catch light in his eye is white and the face is perfectly lit, IMO.

Love your processing! It absolutely suits the subject. I agree with Timmy ... you've made a painting of the painter.

Nice detail and light. I like the bokeh, but I think I would prefer a little deeper DOF ... enough to see the front foreground leg clearly. Still, I like the image a lot the way it is.
