Very cool photo and great title. I love the effect of the rich colors against the black face and background. Teeth are brightly white and only thing I think would have addes some more impact is the whites of the left eye showing more. A brillant concept that was well executed and is going in my favorites list. Wish I could give more than a 10.

Call me crazy, but for some reason I find this picture kinda disturbing. Just out of curiousty, what made you decide to paint ther face black? I think a natural looking face would have been much better and I personally would have scored it higher. But, gotta give it to ya for being this daring knowing "out of the box" shots don't do well here.

Way cool. Just the perfect amount of light on the face. Composition is extremely effective. Teeth may be a bit too white, but I expect that is due to the dark areas in which they live. I think I hear the ribbon train heading in your direction - listen for the whistle.
