I pumped up the contrast almost as far as it could go to attain this effect of my daughter.

I love it.. I think it is a great shot and great post processing. Very Andy.

Just me I guess - I was that nine, I should have given it a ten, I love it!

I like the effect you are going for here, but I wish there was less black on the left and a bit more of her face on the right.

Daring.. I'm not sure about the crop though. I think it'd have been better to either show the second eye entirely or not show any of it.. 6

seems more like digital art than photography

contrast is too high, intentionally or not

Nice abstract, and it sure is B/W. Good use of negative space. good work.

I don't like this much at all. There is really no detail to honor this person with. She looks like a lovely girl, why not show that off? I can't comment on technical aspects like focus or lighting, cause there really isn't any due to so much post processing. The angle and framing/cropping needs some work though, in my opinion. You cut her nose right off. Sorry if I don't see this the way you do. Good luck in the challenge.

You have a nice composition here, but for my tastes, you went too far with the post processing. I can see the value in it, but it just doesn't work for me...

Very interesting "art type" portrait, that does manage to capture some expressiveness. The composition feels a little unbalanced to me, with just a little too much negative space for my taste. Overall though, I like the photo.

Nice work, like it.

Looks too doctored for my taste, however I like the composition and placement of the face. Jacko 7

I REALLY like this, but I wish you wouldnt have cropped off the tip of her nose.
