I love how the face so smoothly blends into the light. Not so sure about the ice. (If there is symbology there I didn't get it.) But it doesn't really drage the image down either. Just seems a tiny bit out of place. I like the idea though, perhaps smoother ice, or something else that was a smoother shape... But overalll a very well done image. I feel you should have scored in the top ten. Very nicely done.
Very nice effort and interesting result. The resulting unevenness of the eyes (in terms of light and focus) does not appear to work well here, at least IMHO.
even though its a little OOF, I really like the feel in this picture, between the soft focus and the overexposure, this image gets a very dreamlike feel. Very nicely done!
Very nice and arty. Obvious breaking of the rules and not going for a sharp photo which works but the overexposed right hand side makes it feel too harsh for the soft feel you were going for
