This is an exceptional picture. I like it enormously. And to have taken it yourself makes it better still.

Great treatment on the challenge. I especially like the way the parallels follow the body contour. Don't change a thing. 10

Comment by Bibliophile:
Interesting and Creative! I'm not good at self portraits, so I'm even more impressed by this one. The only problem that I see is the green tint throughout the middle of the frame. To the left is black on white, then the body seems green but as we move right it fades back to black on white. I think this would have been much more successful in true black and white. Very nice picture though!

Later: I was thinking of cropping out the face and hand because they are distracting. That would make it more abstract. But I really liked the lines along the neck and would have been loath to give then up.
