First DQ. Obvious really and as soon as i'd sent off the file i could see the DQ. New shapes made by erasing through the top layer. Not paying enough attention when submitting really. I'll be extra carful next time!

I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.
Positives: How bizarre! A good thing! I like the coloration, the blur and I very much like the emerging green fence behind the subject.
Critical stuff: To my eye the composition is suboptimal, I'd have cropped a bit more from the right side I think; having said that, the slight unbalancing of the composition does contribute to a general uneasiness which suits the over feel of the image. The eyes... again mixed feelings - I don't like them being so prominent, the effect is out of kilter with the rest of the image. Having said that, I can't deny they draw you in and almost define the image. The question is - do they over-define? I'm undecided.
Overall: A fascinating image full of unusual (but influential) choices. I like how your image make me (the viewer) deal with it on your terms.
