Interesting subject. The composition could have been a little more interesting if the subject were off center a bit.

Over exposed nose, and lack of contrast brings this done a bit. Don't be afraid to use more contrast in your images. Choice of subject is good. Good luck

Thanks -- definitely my best score in a long time!

From the comments it seems I actually addressed the challenge topic in a straightforward way for a change.

Here's a link to a version (at pBase) in the original color; does anyone think it would have done better? I thought it was too dingy and grimy to score well, no matter how closely it met the topic.

Good composition but seems a bit light overall.
