great idea and a nice portrait! (I would dodge eyes a little bit, though)

sorry for the score, but it was to be expected :)

Ahh.Now I see why you had so many comments.

Actually I think, given the limited nature of some of the voters, that you did pretty well. Why? Because you didn't come in in last place, and that's what often happens to colour images when they end up in a "black and white" challenge - even when the challenge spec doesn't say that it has to be a black and white image.

Good on ya.

wow, 27 1's and 25 2's? that's harsh and if I remember correctly from my reading of the guidelines of the site, it is recommended NOT to give extremely low scores just because a photo (in anyone's own humble opinion) does not meet the challenge. Thinking outside the box is what we need more of in this world of cookie cutter houses and mass production. That is a gorgeous BLACK and WHITE photo, Jeb. Look at that perfect bald head and that lovely cocoa skin. Come on people... why don't some of you give Jeb some positive comments. Just pretend for a moment that it said N/A in the description of this challenge. Oh wait... it did.

shame no one could look past b/w as in processing. This was an excellent out of the box entry in my mind. I love your thinking.

I stand by my original comment. You hear that, all you DNMCer's? Ya, thats right, close-minded .

Props for thinking outside the box. At least a few people got it...

Hey, Jeb, I think you did exactly what you wanted to do. You took a good pic, you tested the boundaries, and you got out with your skin intact. Certainly you have plenty of positive comments to go with the DNMC folks. I must admit, I probably would've leapt for a low score had I voted this challenge, but your title would've made me think, and I probably would've ended up on 6.

I love it! Great idea. I think a tighter crop would work better on this - I would love to see a better contrast between the two subjects' expressions.
