This is outstanding, but overexposed. Great job, though!

Not really a fan of the processing to be honest. I understand you were trying to draw attention to his eyes but the effect is rather unsettling. Its a shame because I think you got perfect focus on the eyes and the exposure is right on. I'd be quite interested in seeing the original for comparison once voting closes.

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: I like the narrow scope of this image; you have found a small piece of our world and made it the subject of your image - the inclusion of some background scenery emphasizes how tiny a part of our world this is and the car becomes more significant as a result. I think the coloration / toning works well to.

Critical stuff: Sharpness. I think this is too soft to be truly effective, the brain gets bothered by it and ceases to be interested in your scene.

Overall: Conceptually strong but with some technical deficits.

Like the idea, but in my opinion, I would like to have seen the last line to be just readable.........the use of depth of field to highlight Love is a great idea, but missing the last line of the phrase is like missing the last 5 minutes of a movie............
