If this were a stock shot for a magazine cover it would be fine, but there is too much open sky as is. It feel very bottom heavy.

Comment by puppet10:
Thank you for the comments. I have some shots without the highlight, and the cloth is invisible more or less, I prefered having the bit of cloth at the bottom and I liked the highlight *shrugs*.

It was taken through an approxmately 8" diameter glass globe which had some lines in it from the manufacturing process using water as a lens through a sphere caused some spherical and chromatic aberrations which i liked, but this and the lines could be mistaken for digitization problems I suppose.

I got the idea for this from a site with someone holding up a fresnel lens in front of their head and only their eye was on their shoulders. I didnt have a fresnel lens or a large enough globe to do that, but I thought the distorted enlarged eye looked interesting.

Good subject idea, was this actually taken through a fishbowl?

interesting idea for this challenge. the water bubbles suggest that you are looking through a waterfilled object. i like the bubbles. was there a way to avoid the highlight (probably from your lighting source) and the not quite straight background cloth? they are a little distracting in my opinion. btw, are your eyes green? i love green eyes! :) -- gr8photos (4)

This is a neat shot... I really like your concept on this one. I originally gave this photo a 7 but I'm gonna bump it to 8 after looking a little closer.... This is very imaginative and a well done piece :) = 8 - jmsetzler

The lens has some very distracting bubbles in it. Maybe the face was a little toooo close? Some digital distortion, esp. around the eye and nose.

Very elegant and simple; a textbook example of the rule of thirds.
