Found this in the CC section:

I will say that I am a fan of the image, and probably biased since Im fascinated with learing how to read auras, but as far as the image goes, its a bit too black even though I know you intended it that way since the lines stand out more. Its a good creative take on the challenge and fits the theme well, its just that the outline of the model is uneven and inconsistent throughout the frame. Maybe if you had a stronger light source, the outline would become more pronounced.

The reason why it scored under the average of 5 is because its one of those images that don't score well on DPC. Similar to impressionism, its a love or hate it image and I see you do have a favorite which is always rewarding regardless of how it scores. I would give it a 6, love the composition.

Reminds me of one of those optical illusions... when I first saw it, I saw two faces looking at each other with their mouths open. Once I looked away and back, I could see the centered person.

I like the idea, but just not enough here to hold my attention.

Very interesting. I bit too abstract for me, but I do understand where you were going with the shot. You had to have worked very hard to get the effect. I don't think I like the white lines bounding the top and bottom, but everyone to his or her own taste.

Excellent work.

Good idea...that would work much more effectively with more aura !

I totally get what you were trying to do. I wish I could see the outline of the hands a little more or something.

I like the idea, I don't think you quite pulled it off

Oh that's COOL!!! Love the low key. I'm sure you'll hear "too dark," but I love it.
