We are in modern times. It seems many voters are not aware that a portrait challenge is certain to include tradional and modern renditions. Regardless, you are a bit ahead. This is a very good study and very under rated.

Comment by Neil:
Thanks for your comments everyone. I am not sure if the low score reflects people not getting it, or people just not liking it, or in particular the grain. But here's a link to the portrait I challenged myself to imitate:

Picasso's Self Portrait during the cubism period

Of course, this was harder under DPC rules, and it took me many takes. For those who still don't see, my profile and my front shots are there.

Returning for comment:
Is this Picasso on Van Gough? A very good effect. It leans a hair over to the graphical side but then it is only a natural extension. This is perhaps one of the most creative efforts in this challenge. Bumping up. Another bump to 8

looks like neil but i'm not sure so that is all i will say (not bold enough to call it)

really nice shot very cool has a great feel to it......really looks like a masters selfportrait.

prob. not doing good though since i always gravitate to art and voters here like stock shots so hey what can u do.

keep up the good work.....(ok i will call it) Neil?-10

Really cool illusion, I can see the grain was deliberate, still wish it wasn't so grainy. Bumping to 7
