Are you kidding, this is the best Escher-like photo I've seen in years. I'm also a fan of his work and I've studied the background on your photo - that painting/wallpaper, the books, it's so much like Escher's! This should have scored higher, only 5 tens (one from me, anyhow :).

Hah! I gave this an 8, and I'm glad to be standing next to it in the rankings. I've had a long-time love affair with Escher's works...

Great skyline. I don't find the foreground in brown tones all that attractive. The red sun and clouds are very nicely done.

I find this to be quite intriguing. With your hand positioned the way it is, it appears as tho you are holding a sphere. I like how your facial expression fits the mood of the scene.

I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.

Positives: Quirky, self-indulgent and quite wonderful! The tones are excellent the distorted fisheye appearance is really effective. you and your background context are full of interest - lots to explore.

Critical stuff: Nothing

Overall: A highly interesting unconventional self-portrait.
