Returning for comment. I'm not sure what you are leaning against...am finding it distracting. Good capture of facial expression.

Returning for comment. You had a good idea, but overall this image is just not at visually appealing as some of the other submissions to my eye. I can see...something, just not sure what. On the plus side - you took a risk and that's great!

Returning for comment. A bit too abstract for my personal taste, but I like that you thought creatively.

Kudos for taking the risk. Make-up job is too messy to be visually appealing, but don't let my opinion stop you!

This is definitely disturbing! :) Bumping up after second look for technical merit.

Not sure what you were going for here creatively. Obviously a reflection, there is a distracting line through the center of the shot. Most of the other submissions featured a facial expression that was definitely a smile, or definitely not a smile and that approach might have helped improve this image. Including the camera in the final product gives this shot more of a "snapshot" feel and will not help the final score. The background is visually uninteresting and the clothing sort of blends in with it. It was great that you actually included your face. Unfortunately, I just wasn't able to give this a very good score.

This shot probably would have worked better in a different challenge.

This shot would have worked better if the candle on the piano wasn't dead center. Because it is so light against the rest of the frame, it becomes the focal point and throws off the overall composition. Overall, the shot is very dark. Concept is decent, technique could be better.

Title fits the shot. Unfortunately, the background is not as visually interesting as you might have hoped. There is so little detail in the foreground that overall, this just doesn't work as well as the other submissions.

I can tell you were going for an effect here; however, at least one thing in the frame should be in focus. Can't really get a grip here on your mesage. even with the title.
