Greetings from the Critique Club...

I was not able to vote on this challenge, but if I had, I probably would have given you a 6.

I think the face is fairly obvious, but perhaps I have a creative imagination. It would seem some of your commenters were unable to find the face. I like how you have used the suit to bring the carpet to life. What could be done to improve on this image? I find it to be a little soft overall. Perhaps the original is not as focused as it could be. I think the main reason you scored sub 5 is because people weren't able to make the connection, or they thought the rug and the shirt were just too unrelated. Overall, I am surprised it did not score higher.

If you need any clarification on any of my comments, please feel free to pm me. It might take some time for me to get back to you.

Dali has nothing on you. You are a abstract thinker

i like the facial expression created but i must say that the shirt and tie seem incredibly forced in for this shot

Where is the 'personification' this?

I have to admit I'm having a tough time seeing the personification. But that might me my lack of imagination. I tried to see s face in the rug (the triangle).
