I think what makes this for me is the intimate closeness. It's not something I have ever seen the likes of.

When you can see the tiny textures of the skin and the rope in a perfectly clear and beautifully lit set-up, it really brings this into a new realm considering the subject at hand here. The closed eye also helps - I think an open eye looking at the viewer would have made a completely different statement (possibly even more dramatic) but I prefer like this - nice choices all around.

touches my conscience in a way. If there was a bit more DOF so that more of the head was sharp I think we'd have a ribbon here- almost looks dead (eyeless) ... very nice overall. 7

Optical Coincidence

Comment:
wow- that's pretty crazy - striking image. This was tough to crop i would think .. that's the only thing I could possibly change, but I'm not sure exactly where to move the frame since you have 3 areas of interest here. It seems awfully narrow for not being croped but that must be an illusion. I would have soiled myself if I had this shot in my camera I swear ;P

An interesting piece of jewelry to be sure. The yellow hue, noise, and short focus hurt this though ... I'd also like to see the chain cut through the frame so that it wasn't so centered.

Spirals spin people into higher scores. Although this is an entirely cliché overused subject I think it is successful in the variety of shapes and tones and the great deep petals that go all the way to black.
