 Well this will be interesting...I'm obviously hoping the voters will find this 'puzzling' in nature but they might just find it totally unrealistic looking and I'll be in all kinds of trouble. :) (I'm also a little concerned some voters might find the subject totally gross.) Still, it's out of my photography confort zone and I had fun setting it up - that's always a good thing.

Creepy! Cool idea, I love the lighting, the shadows look great and really add to the feeling of the photo.

Nice photo. The human brain is definitely a very puzzling entity of our body! I like really the model closing his eyes. It's like he's thinking. Works well.

Great idea. No doubt puzzling if that was real! :)

Really good work, but I'm not seeing 'Puzzled'

Very nice. Hope you'll post details on the execution.

Great idea. I think the over-sharpening lets it down somewhat, as it looks a bit like a cutout.

Very creepy. Nicely done and very creative. I'm not wild about the lighting on his face, although the ear and the brain are stellar. But my taste seems to be in the minority most of the time, so this is certain to finish on the front page :-)
