unsettling, troubling, almost ugly, bothersome, but by god not boring! i wouldn't want it on the wall, but it says volumnes for your efforts to rise above the mundane.

Wayne's response is just fine with me. I would amplify it by pointing out that close up noses are about one of the last things anyone would ever want to look at. But it is a unique shot.

If you could get the mustache and the eyebrow to line up a little tighter... t

I don't at all understand Wayne's (and Jeff's) interpretation above. I don't understand "...troubling, almost ugly, bothersome..." but maybe I get a little "unsettling." It's amazing how so very little one eye of a person's face is able to reveal about the person. The whole must be much more than the sum of its parts, in this case.

The little inset shot isn't very engaging, but the full-screen version really brings out the shapes, textures, and life in this shot.

Printed as a 4x6 (feet that is!) this would really be something. (And you could charge a lot more too!)
