Of all the "DNMC" conceptual shots, I liked this one the best. It really made me think, and I spent a bit of time with it. I'm not suprised that it did poorly; just because it's pretty far away from the box (like in a different room), but I didn't expect it to get the brown. I gave it a 6. Thanks for sharing it; and don't let that score curb your enthusiasm.

i love the idea of this image, but i think you could have pulled it off better, definitely.

Wow, last place. I knew I was going down, but I thought there would have at least been a couple of cell phone in the mirror pics I beat out. By far my most commented on photo.

I lied. I gave you a 9. This is my highest score to a brown ribbon ever. You rock!

I'm not sure exactly what the orange flare is on the left side of the picture but it definitely distracts from the rest of the image...

odd - this is the sorta thing that won't score well but has artistic value. interesting approach. I like the title too.

I think I understand, but unfortunately the execution isn't that great in my opinion.

You're a big orange blue in real life too?

30 minutes of your life. you were overgenerous and end up giving us just a ball of light. but what can we really know of a person anyway? at least here we sense that we've shared something with you, even if ignorantly. A profound statement on the limitations of the observer. 8.

Abstracts don't seem to fit in with a portrait challenge. I have seen abstracts made up of objects that the photographer feels describe him, but turning yourself into a red blob doesn't make it for me, sorry.
