Interesting as an abstract work of art. But if one thinks of the original photo (which might well be lovely) one cannot help but think of that noise reduction s/w or whatever was used to obtain the effect. I vote it as an abstract. 7.

this has an eerie quality to it, but i think that you do the title justice. Lovely eyes.

Even though her eyes are a little strange, I voted high for lighting, composition, color. Sepia tones & soft focus work well here. Being super picky, I would've toned down the highlighting on the side of the face a bit.

I'm not going to say too much about the photo, it is very well exposed and a creative shot. I'll just say a few "nitpicks", very minor stuff and doesn't take away from the shot. The bar going through the head of the other and the bar in line with the boot. It probably could have been recomposed to remove these little distractions. I also think it might be a little over sharpened for this resolution as I see some haloing and around the hat.

Overall very minor stuff to a well composed, well thought out image. A good score and a very refreshing scene (the expression on the one makes the shot).

It took me a second, but very clever, and really great Shallow Depth of Field :-) BLT (beautiful lighting, too)!

Too shallow, it looks kind of freaky.
