A Very Unusual Portrait

Definately a different look, obviously meets the challenge. Good use of macro settings which created a wonderful dof for you.

The upper lip was definately your center of focus in as much as the intensity of the texture and grains within the lip. However at the same time the amout of distortion use probably hurt you in this case cause the photo just isn't eye appealing to most. Text books call this kind of distortion "dog nosing" and warn about the use, although in this case you weren't trying for beauty you were trying for effect.


This photo was well thought out and executed equally well. Keep up with the interesting angles if nothing else it makes you think when you see them and thats what its all about making people stop and take notice =o)

Absolutely revolting, but I love it! Incredible eyes. You captured the complexion well. Nicely composed. 9
