Comment by Teafran:
From a technical standpoint, this is unfortunately ruined by oversharpening which is a major flaw. From an artistic standpoint, if the temptation to oversharpen had been avoided, it would have been more than acceptable. If the image hadn't been oversharpened, this would have had significant impact on the viewer and should have placed well as the slight color cast is a major plus. Very unfortunate and the author would do well to critically examine the submissions for flaws like this before submitting.

The background is to bright it's almost washed out, I don't know if this is a self-portrait or a candid shot but IMO I would have came back in the morning or the evening when the light wasn't so harsh. JMO!

Comment by Teafran:
A clever idea and a technical success, it's less than successful in an artistic sense. DOF control is excellant and the lighting isn't over done creating blooms. The subject is less than interesting. Perhaps a different background with a slightly different angle would have helped. A little more thought and better framing would have brought the rating higher.
