I can see that there is technique here - but unfortunately the photo does not appeal to me.

I've probably spent more time looking at this photo than any other so far. It is an interesting image, a bit disconcerting. I can imagine a number of magazines that would publish it for a variety of purposes. In the DPC forum, it is a bit risky and I would be surprised if it scores well. But I like the fhat you're willing to take risks. Good job.

Very nice portrait, but I believe that the post-processing will bring your score down. It appears to be more digital art than photography in my opinion. The original portrait is terrific, and might be pushed a little more with contrast and levels.

Great artistic study. I would have added the missing bit of chin. outside of this minor item you have my total praise for this effort. Bumping up.

interesting editting and graphic artwork. the fact that you didn't just do a straight line down the face makes it look more natural. the orange neck looks a little odd though. i don't know how well it'll do in terms of appreciation from the voters - i fear not too well. i like it though, finding it quite striking. stupid point, but i think it might look a little better if it were squarer - the width doesn't naturally match the height. that aside, good stuff! 7.

I like the contrasts, but the chin didn't line up well and detracted a lot from the tearing effect.

Yikes. You'll get the desired effect with this one.
