Hey, in all honesty it does not strike me as a pleasing foto. The mask and the blue hair mostly. It seems unnatural... not sure how to put it. I bet if your model had a painted blue face with slicked back hair, thi would have scored a bit higher.
Technically the shot is dead on so it's more the feel of the shot than anything else for me.
Just my 2 cents.

BTW, I always think all my shots are gonna win ribbons when I enter challenges. the voting almost immediately change my mind. I chalk it up to me really being satisfied with my own work which at the end of the day is really all that matters.

I'm baffled Marc. I gave this one an 8 and for sure would score in the low to mid 6s. I guess we will never understand the voters :(

Nice "pop" in the colors, the flaw in the lower right hand corner is a little distracting.

Clearly complimentary but almost freaky. I'm not sure I like the mask

If this had been blue makeup rather than a mask it would be even better (more hassle though!). Good nevertheless.

3 - Colors, mostly, strong enough.. whilst a little 'different', just not holding my attention enough.
