This hidden face "jumped on me" while I was washing my hands. I wonder just how many other people got this idea, too (after all, everybody washes their hands once in a while:)), and enter a similar photo. I think it is pretty cool, especially looking directly down. The "ears" are in fact shadows of my tripod, I was not planning that effect on purpose, but saw it while playing with lighting. I think ears are pretty cool, too. I hope it does well.
Post-processing: 1 deg. rotation, crop,
clonning out some minor distractions, selective color tweaking in the sink area, brigtness/contrast, NeatImage, save for web.
Thanks to my daughter Masha - an aspiring lighting designer - who helped me with lighting here.
Happy holidays, everybody!

Hi Lev,
Greetings from the Critique Club...
Nice finish in the contest. Great eye in spotting the common "face".
What's working: your central composition is direct helping me see the face. The pink sink makes the shot adding just the right amount of color. Cropped well. I don't mind the tripod shadows but don't think it helps -- a bit too flat for the "ears" message - more looks like framing for the face.
Some suggestions: The soft focus doesn't work as well. The whole shot needs to be crisp. Having the central composition without it being 100% level detracts from the symetry you've created. As mentioned by a few others the lighting is uneven and harsh in areas and doesn't add to the image.
I hope my comments are clear and helpful. Please pm me with any questions or comments.
Regards,
Theresa |

| That's funny - here's an example of something we see every day, but do we really see it? |

| Good idea, poor execution. Distracting reflexions and poor lightning. The white area far overexposed Sorry 4 |

| A little soft, but it works well with the colors. I might have tried cloning out the shadows on the both edges. |
