I think this would have worked better with just the lips and the microphone - you might have offended some with the potentially overt sexual connotations but the presence of the nose detracts from an otherwise extremely accomplished shot.

I tried commenting on this one - but I added it to my favourites before submitting the comment :P. Basically what I said was this is a stunning image, you look positively serene - Glad you kept your eyes shut. One of the better self portraits I've come across. Such a shame this wasn't a true yellow - if this was an orange challenge you would have been shoe in for a ribbon. Still, it's verging on a travesty that this didn't break six.

36 1's 2s and 3s will do that I guess.

Thanks to everyone for your comments. So, why was it so orange you ask? It didn't even dawn on me until the voting was half over. My computer crashed a week before this challenge and I rebuilt it just in time to post-process my photo. What I did not do, however, was reset the gamma and the other calibration necessities on my monitor. This makes twice that calibration has caused an issue in my entries. I'm a B&W girl, so it's usually not such an issue, but I paid the price here. Once I got everything reset, I found that I needed to shift the hue about five points toward yellow to make a realistic representation of the color I used. I plan on posting a color corrected version to my portfolio later this week for those who are interested. Thanks again everyone. Heather

Very very creative. Even though I'm not seeing a real yellow, more like an orange toned, I have to give you a high score for originality and concept

I think it would have been stronger with her eyes open. Interesting idea.
