I am assuming this is the same photographer as the previous image. I prefer this shot. Although again, I'm not a fan of overlaying stuff - but it has nice tones.

excellent artistic interpretation -- love it

My favorite of the three. I know this one well from your site.

This one is lovely.

Although this one is also very processed, and I'm not a big fan of that, I can still see enough facial features to tell more about the subject's mood etc.

I prefer the more candid shots for this theme as opposed to posed shots since they give a more realistic sense of who the person is, what they are feeling and perhaps a little about their character.

Outstanding work. Love it. High marks all around.

I love all three of these but I think this is my favourite.

Great stuff.

Really works well for me as a dramatic portrait. I imagine there will be a big debate over the processing, though. For me, photography changes all the time and this processing isn't anything more than a new way to do an old idea. Great job, just lovely in my book- both dramatic and nice.

a little too much for my tastes...I'd like to see the original
