Sorry, I don't get it. All I see is shamrock glowing green in the blackness. And a body who seems to have no relationship to it. I like green and black, that's worth one point.
i like it. wish you were a little more sharp and not quite so soft but still an interesting different portrait and you look just like someone I know. at least from the nose down. :P
