Border too thick for me. The blur works though.

Thanks for stopping by. As time passes by I am more and more convinced it's not sad.

Wonderful image. I love the blur created I assume from a lensbaby. A personal preference would be to reduce the letterbox boarder by at least 50%.

Fantastic focus on the eye. Since everyone is commenting on Liverpool connections, I have to add that my mother came from Liverpool.

Great photo, but the border is much larger thatn than your subjects and really detracts from them.

I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.

Positives: This cruises right along the edge of cliche without actually crossing over - quite a feat and a consequence of how well you've measured each facet of the image - the tones, the selective focus, the contrived set-up (is there another type?); all hang together so very very well that the overall effect is superadditive. Great stuff.

Critical stuff: I suppose the border takes nothing away but I'm not sure it adds much at that depth.

Overall: More effective than it should be - well played.
