*Critique Club*
FIRST IMPRESSION: This photograph is downright creepy. It is an appropriate reprsentation of Picasso's work, modified to fit a challenge requiring the use of glass.
CHALLENGE: Definitely meets the challenge - there is glass present, and it is an integral part of the photo.
COMPOSITION: The colors remind me of The Matrix or Metropolis (a very old movie about class separation). I like the contrast of focus points in and around the magnifying glass, as it makes the presence of that glass stand out.
TECHNICAL: There's the tiniest shadow above the magnified eye, probably from the frame of the glass. Otherwise, this is quite well done.
CONCLUSION: An interesting rendition of a very well-known Picasso painting. The focus issue you mention in your comments is well handled, and as one of the other commenters said, it adds contrast between the magnified and unmagnified sides of the face.
Thanks for sharing and good luck in future challenges! |

| Great idea...I wonder if shooting from any farther back and cropping would put the right side in more equal focus (if you wanted that) without making the lens too obvious. |

| A simple device, known to all of us, used creatively to produce an original image. Like your use of the blue tones. The Picasso allusion in the title is very appropriate - except for the implication that it might harken back to his Blue Period . It's more representative for his last 30 years or so. Just toss this out, titles never enter into my scores. 8 |

| Good concept for this picture. not to mention very well done. The tonal quality of this photo is exceptional. The magnified part shows that you need to shave :-) Excellent pic - 10 |

| Great effect, and I like the way the magnified image is sharp and the unmagnified one isn't. Good job. |
