One of the more genuine expressions in the challenge, which I think is one of the most important yet difficult aspects of portrait photography. Of course, it's easier when you're the subject to do that, but boy is it hard to trip that shutter sometimes....
I like that you went and did something you're supposed to avoid with portraits (wide angle up very close), it gives an interesting feel to things.

Very psychedelic image. I'm new to expert editing and not sure how you pulled this off but it works well for me. Very different than what others have done. 9 from me (Would've made it a 10 but there is just something missing that I can't put my finger on...will update my comment if I figure it out)
