Confrontation

Not sure what, but this doesn't say confrontation to me - more sadness, contemplation, resignation... Excellent lighting and composition.

Excellent. Love the intensity of the eyes, and the color of the robe. Lighting is just right.

Cute concept, but doesn't grab my interest. Not really sure how this fits "portrait".

I don't see anything in the picture capable of pressing the shutter release - on-camera or remote.

Facelessness

Comment:
Disturbing. The arm is unconsciously in a muscle flex position, and looks healthy and strong. Yet, the appearance of impending suicide indicates a despondency that is stronger than the promise of health, vitality, and potential. Very, very disturbing.

A striking, poignant image, excellently suited to the title.

I was editing merrily away on this when I glanced at the clock. 11:57!! I did a quick resize, save, upload. This is a composite of 4 images. Foreground, background, sky, and court house. I would love to go back and finish the edit. Too much wrong or unfinished with this to even discuss!

Your daughter is beautiful, and both pictures are excellent. I especially like the one of her by the window, but both evoke just the right mood. The dress looks fabulously old fashioned and high class. Wonderful work!

Levitation

Comment:
Great image. Sorry about the DQ. I understand why you used the stick - banana chunks are a bit heavy to try to levitate on a thread.
I'm guessing acceptability depends on how visibly significant the original was - a thread being pretty insignificant, but the stick being pretty significant. Not sure about the visible in the thumbnail concept - one of my dq's was for a software bug-induced change that was barely visible in the full-sized image, and others have gotten a DQ for something not visible on their monitor (but it was on others').
Regardless, it is still a great image, and was voted highly by the majority of your peers on dpc.

WE NEED NEW REFS! (Oh, sorry, confused DPC with NFL there for a second...)

To me, he looks like a good sized German Shepard. Very nice shot.
