As for scoring goes... This will probably bomb. I love it though. It made me stop and think. Something that a lot of these photos have yet to do. Well done. Good usage of grain. Will be back to vote later. :)

Came back to favorite. Well done. This is my favorite of the challenge. :)

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: Wonderfully mystery with this portrait. Enough form for the brain to make sense of it without giving us a hint of distracting detail. I think the window for that feat is quite narrow and you have hit it perfectly. The simultaneous softness and starkness is quite magical.

Critical stuff: Perhaps, the top could be trimmed just a tad...?

Overall: Wonderful stuff.

I like how bravely he watches the violent sun.

p.s. Having flare as the main subject while keeping it interesting is a unique achievement.
