I scored this image an 8 because it struck me as a great self portrait. I don't know you well but for this moment in time the camera caught you I felt I did and that's what makes a good self portrait, IMO.

And for that effort what does DPC do in typical fashion? It places it 183rd. Good grief. Most of the images that ranked ahead of this could only dream of the substance this had but alas we as a community just want our daily fix of exploding landscape backdrops, cool looking props and super tack sharp eyeballs that were dodged and burned to mathematical perfection. It would be great if ONE TIME a challenge rewarded authenticity over the constant illusions that ribbon each week.

Edited to add: Sorry about the rant. Just had to vent a bit. :) Oh and btw, there's nothing technically with your photo in my opinion. To me it lives and breathes and tells a thousand words and that is all any photographer/photoshop artist could hope to acheive so well done!

A good idea, but the photography falls a bit short, I'm afraid. The buildings look very choppy and there's way too much contrast in the sky.

Colors look cross processed or something. It is sort of a neat effect if intentional. Hope you don't get too many negative comments about it. With advanced editing, you could have darkened the upper and lower left corners to help keep the viewer's eye from falling out of the frame.
