So I got all excited when I saw how few entries were for this challenge and thought I would do an adorable clown self portrait since I like to face paint....and then after painting my face it felt really nasty and I felt really tired and took literally two shots and then washed my face off...honestly I think this picture is pretty awful and I am only entering it because wanjun is making me...hahaha I hope this will at least scrape out a five.

Great idea to compose it "diagonally"

Nice image. Like the b&w and the angle of the head. Back to bump you up to 8.

I find it hard to comment on the photo. I want to comment on the clown instead. Some are just so interesting. The eyes are very cool.

A good shot, but I don't totally think the title fits it.

He doesn't look dead to me!

B&W didn't work for me in this case. Maybe I just don't like the subject. I don't know.

The eyes do not exactly do justice to your title:) i feel they are conveying a lot!

Your lighting is not right looks mor stunned than lifeless, clowns say colour to me not b&w 6

Wonderful - my only suggestion is that perhaps you could try 'selective colour - white' to bring out the whites of the eyes and stay within the Basic Rules (if you use photoshop!)

I am not sure if Black and White is the best choice here.

Well-lit, catchlights are dead center in the eyes. Can't decide if the flaws in the makeup add too much character to be truly "lifeless." Nice job overall.
