Too pretty and simple a face to carry the whole trope, IMO. The texture and linear blur effects etc are good though. Brave and welcome effort (also IMO).

Oh!!! Zxaar!!!! What an aMAZING fine art photo! Thank you for sharing so eloquently the story behind it. It makes it even more magical. I actually think this time, I prefer the color version over the black and white. It seems somehow to tell a little more of the story. The lighting and shadows are exquisite.

You are a painter. . ..I can see this as a huge painting. How beautifully it would enhance a room!

Congratulations on a most unique and beautiful capture.

I remember seeing this during the challenge and thinking to myself "wow.. that's not going to do well." I almost instantly appreciated the beauty of the photo though. It is very Impressionistic.

You're photo quite clearly belongs on a wall. It is very much a painting. Unfortunately, the voters on DPC don't usually appreciate photos that aren't perfectly crisp with a clear subject and colors they expect to see.

In your own words you were "trying something different." In looking at other photos in your profile, I can tell you that you don't need my advice on how to take a photo. I think this photo was just an experiment that isn't appreciated by the masses in this venue. If it were a painting on a wall in a museum the opinions would be vastly different. Keep experimenting. You're a great photographer!

Wow, that is beautiful! An intense burst of colour that hits you and makes you jump as soon as you look at it... The title is most appropriate, to me this is like visual poetry. And who cares about the score, I'd be happy to see this on my wall any day.
