Sorry but this just doesn't work for me.
I'm sure that the colour version would have shown more the face.
Yes, I see 2 eyes, something white being a face and a mouth. But your focus should have been on the face instead of on the napkin.

I look good in red! That little corner of A-pilar (?) is not only a nice touch but a stroke of genius.

Originally posted by tvsometime: The man remanded: "Stop begging, comrade. Here is your banquet in a paper bag but first you must pay." I like this projection of there and then on here and now. A convincing link to the novel. I love the composition - dominated by the lines, angles and planes of the building which carom around the picture plane - even as it surrounds and compresses the individual (as in Communist society). This is one of the few in this challenge which make an intuitively inspired connection to the novel. 9

Haven't seen all the entries, haven't read all the books. But in this case, I have, and I have.
I doubt any other entry approached the philosophical verity of this one, at least not with such informed precision. The comment by tvsometime is apt, and I loved the 'carom around the picture plane' bit: very Randian!
I'd have 10‘d you.

Doesn't look like Kira, maybe it's Leo collecting his proletariat McDonalds rations. A quirky and lovable piece that could be supplanted onto any novel ;).8.

6...and here's your damn fries. Technically the quality is lacking, but the pissed off look on his face makes up for that for some reason. Enjoy your meal.

The fries were nice and hot..I'm bumping this to 7.
