excellent and creative take on the challenge - great lighting, excellent use of DOF, this is a sweet image that should have ribboned imo.

Congrats on your top ten. Like the texture of human bread! Or the texture of antiquity. Well done.

Thanks Peter! You have the same lens I used, haven't you?

Several people thought it.

I'm pretty happy that some of you liked very much this one. I like to experiment new things. Surely it's a very different/strange angle/style than usual for me but that's what I like in this! I made a huge mistake cloning out the reflection of the studio flashes in the eye - with them the eye shape had much more depth.

a change of pace, but an enticing image all the same... has a clockwork orange feel to it
