Difficult to express it any better than this.

looks like Walt Whitman, the poet...has an eerily otherworldly feel, almost ghostly.

First impression is: -"I'm seeing Him!"
I think this image depends completely from the viewer. The viewer here is the main composer with freedom to build the details of the face until he's seeing what would like to see. For sure is a strong suggestive image with power to stimulate many minds. I would touch just a liiiittle in the eyes with liquify to give them a powerful presence.

Great shot, reminds me of the Jesus face imprint on the towel. Or I just might have eaten too much in the way of sweets and my mind is CRAZY.

The horrible border has now been removed! :P

Edited for spelling.

A beautiful, classic, subtle chiaroscuro rendition. ShannonLee's Leonardo da Vinci remark makes a connection, I think the subtle frame takes nothing away from this.

so nice and soft, at the same time as having grain. Love it.

Ghostly, and with an air of the late 1800's. Very nice.

Grain and blur make this very artsy looking. It is just clear enough to make it mysterious.
