This could have been a really nice shot had it not have been for all the bright whites to the left of his body. makes it all look out of focuse

This could be really interesting, but the post processing ruins the shot for me.

This is a very interesting image. The image itself is OK on it's own, but the agressive post processing makes this almost abstract.

This is quite delightfully abstract!

Sorry there is nothing about the image that I like. I find it a little confusing.

missing link? really, it's hard to tell what is human and what is distorted.

too abstract

artistic, but it doesn't appeal to me

I'm not really a fan of the heavy processing. But I do like the kind of nightmarish/dreamscape image you've created here.

I am struggling with trying to tell what this is. I can make out most of it, but it doesn't work for me.

Processing is a bit much for me, and the lighting too bright.

Hard to guess ... what is it.. watercolor painting ?

you know...I struggle with images like this. one one hand I understand the emotion that goes with exposing yourself (pun intended) like this...it can be very humbling and equally terrifying to lay it out for all to see.

on the other hand the extreme processing wouldn't be acceptable in any other challenge that didn't involve such a vulnerable subject. Obvious haloing and posterization...blown out highlights, pixellated shadows...they all really detract from the image and take away from what could be an emotional and candid image.

A real bitch to vote objectively on :)

however...all that said, I'm going to overlook the technical deficiencies (for the most part) and give it a 6, because I empathize with the motivation to enter, and the fear of offering too much.

No idea where the rambling came from. gonna move on now :)

good luck with the image.

Erm. maybe its just cuz im a guy, but the male body usually doesn't work well for nudes imo.

This is hard to see what it is. I like the use of the shadow.

I have to admit that you are braver than me, and you should be applauded for your efforts.
