Very nice portrait !! I'm happy to see a winner that is a little less HDR and post color saturation. Good job.

I scored this one of my top scores. The dark portion has incredible detail. Love the distortion.

Who in Gods name gave this a 1?
in fact how anyone can rate this below a 5 is beyond my comprehension.

Well done mate, you are becoming quite the 'Ribbon Hog'.. Excellent top notch B&W portraiture.

Very commanding image, as I wander from the the expression on the face to the neg space,I'm continually pulled back to it trying to define it. It's like a circus freak goblin character (sorry model, nothing personal) not quite real yet a bit too real. That takes something away and yet adds more, if that makes sense. Well done anyway.

Comment by hahn23:
A really beautiful lynx portrait. I love the fur detail. I scored this very well, but might have added one more point if you had not selectively desaturated the fur. This left you presenting the eye color vs. the green foliage. Still, a fine image in all respects.

Nice to see this did well. In spite of a fair amount of low votes, there were more that loved this one.
