So, did he turn his head all the way around?

I am one who loves the dark, the moody, the abstract and the different, but this one is actually disturbing for me. Probably a hang-up of mine. Technically, I think it's a little muddy, but it is mostly a "taste" thing and the image.

How is it disturbing...I guess that's good, sounds cool that you can make someone feel that way with a simple picture...thank you.

Yes, I guess it is good in that it certainly has impact. But for me, it is a "bad" disturbing. A "good" photo draws me in and makes me want to keep looking at it and soaking it in. A "disturbing" one repels my vision and makes me want to avoid looking at it. I don't mean to sound so harsh -- like I said - for me it is a bad image to plant in my head. A personal taste. It will be interesting to see what other folks have to say.

I agree, I almost titled it nightmare of the mind, this is stuff that I do see in my nightmares, and when my eyes play tricks on me in dark places...as you can tell I'm pretty paranoid about being in certain situations.

Then you accomplished something -- you were able to express through an image a part of your soul. That is important, and something I strive for.

Would've done good in the "opposites" challenge but probably DQ'd. Definitely very eerie with the tone.

Yea, I took this pic trying to get something for opposite, don't think it quite fit like the other one I have already submited though.

sorry guys...but I take it as a compliment if my photo haunts you.HAHAHAHA

One more bumb and I'll leave it alone...just that my opposties picture is doing so badly. Want to take my attention away from it for a while with thoughts on this one. It's just that I have no idea why people are slaughtering it cause everyone I've shown it too loves it and all the comments I have recieved so far like it, guess there are just alot of angry people who are getting their photos marked down because they are just bad. Worst challenge I've seen on here by far...O-well, there's always next week.
