The texture and colour of the cloud works well together. This reminds me of water-colout paintings. Not sure what are they on the ground though.

Yes there are thousands stories to be told from his face. Excellent shot. Good use od monotone. I like the horizon glid background too.

Congratuations! I am glad that an abstract gets a blue ribbon. I didn't vote on this challenge. But this photo jumped at me in the thumbnails and was the only one I clicked to view it. To be hoenst, I don't think this would win because the audience here is not into abstract. But it proves me wrong, quite a breakthrough for me to judge the voters. Thank you for sharing the detailed description of your photo too. keep on good work.

Thank you, folks for all your votes and comment. I didn't expect to get this high, giving the fact that there are some flaws that you have pointed out. I have some shots with no motion blur on my hair and with different lighting. Obviously, I like this one I posed the most. And I couldn't bother take more shots because the make up got into my eyes. In fact, the idea of scratchinc the make-up was an accident. I got very hungry and had dinner after I put the full make-up on. There you go!

Self portrait with plants, grin and specs...

Comment:
Lines of the plant looks great but the colour of your shirt that make the frame inbalance in somehow. Try b/w? Or does that would make the curve that you intent to put above blend into the background?

Lines that form the frame vibrate the image. That's great but I just wanna comment on the styling. Not that I suggest a fancy dress up, at least, put your back pack down, for a start and choose other top--just plain white or balck will do. I'm sure it would go along more with your theme.

Classic posing and cropping. I like the way you play with texture too. It looks cool to me
