 This is a last minute entry. I signed up for the Olympics and needed to enter something. I'm sure this is going to get crushed. If I try to sign up for the DPO again please shoot me...

My guess 5.5

Very striking. I wish it was a little sharper in the eyes though.

Great concept and well executed but I can't help but think how amazing this would have looked if all of the non-white skin was made or covered black and leveled to merge with the background.

Nonetheless - a really good entry (8).

Very striking and the white facepaint really focuses attention on those beautiful eyes.

This is quite a powerful image, and a great idea for this challenge!

I think this photo would be a good candidate for selective desaturation. I took a copy and played with it in Photoshop, and it looks really good with the desaturation and a contrast boost. I also dodged, burned, and sharpened the eyes a little more, and they look awesome.

I saved a copy of my edit in my Workshop. I know you didn't ask for an optional edit, so let me know if you want me to delete it.
