 Not so sure I like the fact that I can make myself look like the devil. The red color was present in the photo since the original, I just helped it along a bit with some contrast and brightness. Soft focus usually doesn't go over very well here, so we'll see if how this does. Hoping if anything to learn from this submission more than make a record breaking score.

Out of focus.... fear or anger would have been better expressions for this theme. 3.

Good solid black background and meest the challenge topic well.

There are a lot of setup images like this in the challenge so voters tend to get jaded on them after they have seen a lot of them. This especially true her because of the large number of entries. Yours will suffer scorewise because of that.

The lighting itself on your subject is good but the color appears oversaturated and the focus is to soft. The later is likely intentional but voters will interpret it as a sign of a poor quality image that you tried to save through post processing.

I like the facial expression and the lighting, but it looks a little blurry.

I like the light in the eyes... Very cool. I would have preferred focus, but you may have been going for this.
