Well given your score range went from 6.5432 to 2.0000 it looks like about half the literalists were on holidays!

The thing I really like about your images generally is that they are just so out there, no compromise to try and garner votes just shots that YOU like, which is why I guess your score tends to be either at the top end of the range or towards the lower end

Guess it was a bit harsh for my taste (but remember I am old and dull) but I really liked what you were going for and the fact that the red and green was so vibrant and in your face

Great lighting, and DOF, with a lovely expression. Nice work.

Yup hitting your 20's must be hard!! Fantastic SP, it feels like it should be on the cover of a CD for a jazz/soul singer.

Love the unusual angle and the fact that the eyes are not looking at but beyond the camera.

Great B&W conversion too

This reminds me a bit of The Grinch style, from the movie. Cool, fun and different :)

This is kind of like Christmas morning when everything is surreal and sparkley. Too bad others didn't think so.

LOL! Normally shots of toys/figurines aren't received well but you did a GREAT job personifying this. It's a hoot!
