I wish the rest of your picture wasn't so blurry, but it really doesn't bring your score down for me. Your shallow depth of field actually works in my opinion, the contrast and fine details really make this picture.

I love the close-up with limited DoF. Black and white works great too. Nice emphasis on texture, shape and tones.

Nice, but a little more DOF would help, I think. Good take on the challenge.

Did you enter the wrong chaLlenge. or are you trying a shoehorn entry?

I like the muted skin tones (post processing?) to give punch to the painted mask and the cropping to give the impression of the subject pushing out of the frame to freedom.

I fear for your score in a closely specified challenge where it could easily be regarded as DNMC, but it remains an accomplished photo regardless of your final score and kudos to you for being brave enough to submit it.

Excellent interpretation! Very birdlike in the facial expression, even without the paint, though that adds quite nicely. Very well done shot as well.
