I honestly believed that this image would end up on the front page and I am truly saddened by the number of 1 scores you received.
I took the time to visit and study images done by Weston as I was not familiar with his work, and found this to be very similar to his style. Very nicely done... sadly your efforts were not appreciated at their true value.
This - "What most stood out for me in this image was the way you got the skin tone just the way he did, so it looks like marble, well done." - exactly right. Great photo.
One of the most Westonian (if that's a word) images in the challenge. Sadly many of those who truly nailed the challenge ended up here in the middle of the pack. What most stood out for me in this image was the way you got the skin tone just the way he did, so it looks like marble, well done.
Stunning. How this finished way down here I will never understand. You somehow managed to create a strong mix of dimensions/depth. It's as if he is peeling off a wall, from dark to light.
ETA: I just noticed I finished a place below, an honor! ;)
oddly enough, I feel too biased to keep bumping up this photo, even though I can't really say that I know you or the subject. It's to your credit that I feel like I know both. The photograph is sKul(p)tur ... marble... you have evoked the cold eye of Weston perhaps better than anyone else. Like Weston, you have chosen not to "freeze a moment in time" but rather to turn your subject into stone... of course you still deal in eternity.
