Congratulations on an excellent entry and a very good final placement. I love the shot: the colors, the crop, the subject, the focus. I think the background is perfect. What a funny and marvelous bird!

I like the processing and the image a lot. But my question is WHY did you put it in this challenge?

Good subject for the challenge. The image needs a levels adjustment to bring out the colors, light, and contrast.

Why.. .Why am I so Lonely?

Nice portrait, but the composition could be better. The thing behind his head is distracting. Cropping the left side would help some by eliminating some of the clutter and moving the subject off center.

I really like this picture, Svetlana. I don't understand it, so I gave it a 9 during voting, because I didn't see the connection to double take. But if I were voting on this as a Free Study, I would definitely have voted 10.

edit: After looking at it for a lot longer, I see that you are actually a double of the black chair. I guess the head and circles through me off on that realization earlier. I'm feeling really dense, because I don't understand the title either. Please realize that none of this is a criticism of the image, because it fascinates me and I really really like it.

I like the creativity of this. The post processing is really fun. I like the jello at weird angles, and I love the colors of the jello. The image is a bit too dark on my monitor (which is just a laptop), and the focus seems a bit too soft for this type of illustration. Still I commend your efforts and hope you will do more of this fun stuff.

The flowers are beautiful, but I especially like the complementary background. Excellent image.
