[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
First I wanted to delete this shot because it came out of focus. But then I find it appealing - it's like a poster that should be viewed from a distance. Please let me what do you think about this (involuntary) experiment.

Being out of focus isn't the biggest problem with this picture (I quite like it, to be honest). But the part that really troubles me is the lack of eyes - if the picture would have a little more of the eyes and eye-brows, I would think it's great. Now I find it just mediocre.
Take care,
Birgit

Here's what came to my mind...

I first saw the thumbnailed version, liked it a lot. So I clicked it, to take a look at the full blown version. Liked it less, because of the face being so upfront. Compared to the small picture, you lose the 'big picture'. (?)

Very great composition though, try a smaller sized version with a black frame maybe...

Hi Eugene,
I like this dary experiment !
Like the blur when you approach someone too close ...
Nice work !
Sylvie

Could be the man in the moon :)
