The eyes are funny but really too much nose. It's just hard to look at.
oh, but that mouth is funny, too.
Okay I have a policy of giving a 7 for funny, so 7. |

| haha! Quite a shot. However, I'm afraid I'm having a hard time voting on this challenge. Many of the shots seem to be inspired by the title of the novel -- not by the novel itself. -5- |

wow....that's more detail than i ever thought i'd see regarding a bull's nose. have to say it's quite humorous, though generally unappealing to me.
technically well done for the focus and detail.
*edited* forgot to include vote before - this gets a 6 from me |

| 4...I don't see a connection to the book other than using its title for the title. |

Damn... I'm almost angry at you for taking what could have been an EXCELLENT book to portray and giving me a silly pun.
Weak sauce. 3 because I almost like the image. |

Did not read this particular Murakami book and upon glancing at the synopsis I do not think that it has to do much with it, save for the title.
Nevertheless, it's a good picture, a National Geographic type but in this context it does not move me at all.

| Interesting. Not familiar with the novel but seemed to refer to humans. Back to the picture, at this level of details should have been tack sharp. 5 |

| In relation to the novel, looking at a single moment of horror from every angle and the type of crime committed by Kawashima doesn't appear here. If this is a type of allegory, then you could get away with a connection ;) I'll judge you on the latter anyway. Technically, a little overprocessed for me but your composition includes all the key elements to convey the message.5. |

| Love the shot, but the tie to the story is not there. Not really what I would consider a classic either. Would have rated it higher in a different challenge. 5 |

| You want a classic novel? I don't need no classic novel. I like the in your face image but there's no association with the modern novel as far as I can tell. Image could be a 6 in another challenge. Here its only a 5. |

I am not a border police, and in fact I often use top and bottom black borders myself. Though I wouldn't do it in a challenge about novels. I was looking forward to portrait images that may work out well as book covers. But that's probably just me.
I would have set the focus range up to the eyes and applied selective gaussian to the corners with distracting elements.
5 from me. |

| I haven't read the novel, but read up a little bit about it. Not sure if this portrays the novel well, as I understand it to be quite a weird, dark and violent work. From me 5 |

It's got some great detail in the face, but it is just a piercing of a cow's?? nose. I know it goes with the title of the book, but the theme of the book has nothing to really do with this...at least from what I read about it. Maybe a different piercing with a dark undertone or something?
I gave it a 3. |

| Wow! Now that's a close-up of a snout as I've ever seen! :) Wonderful detail and clarity (maybe a touch over-processed?). Never read the book, but this fits the title perfectly! |

Great detail. Love the close up you have here.
Interesting shot for the title. I've never seen this before, but then again, I don't view any animals up close and personal like this. lol.
Great detail. Wonderful color. Nice processing.
Well done. 7 |
