Adding an echo to Billyspad, also glad to be on board.
Discovered this sort of accidentally Billy, I don't think many people are aware of its existence yet. Excuse me for not responding directly to the photo this morning as I'm having to deal with life...which gets in the way of art at times.

Welcome and thank you for being the first to post to For Your Consideration!!!
It will be interesting to see what others say, but your image intrigues me. At first glance, I would say, it's over processed and out of focus, however the more I look the more I keep looking. It's as if it reminds me of something.
It's possible you may have intentionally over processed the image to create the effect you're looking for, but the focus throws me. Was that on purpose? I have so many questions!!!
Thank you again for being the first to post! S-

On first look I was puzzled, but the longer I gaze the more attractive the image becomes. Is it perhaps the over done Rembrandt Lighting, The lack of sharpness, The color. Cannot decide why but I do like it.

Welcome, and interesting isn't it. Almost haunting. S-

Subscribed; the "Stare" could be lightened up and brought more in focus. Art, but not my kind of art!

Welcome, and while many will agree, it is an interesting idea. S-

This has a very familiar feel to it.
I feel like it is similar to something I've seen, maybe an art movement from the '60's?
Great start to a new board, Billy!!!

I am not a critic nor a critic's son. I can only tell you what I see and feel.
First off, it appears to why over processed, to much Magenta in the face.
Second, his eyes are too soft for a person that is staring. He appears to be more in fear and bewilderment.
On Edit.
Perhaps a better name, something like Apprehension

What I love most about this image is, that where it would have been a Delete for me, it's changing my mind and starting quite the discussion!
Welcome Bill! S-

Subscribed! I like this. Lots of emotion, grabs the viewer. I don't think focus or lighting need to be perfect in this one to get the message across. Apprehension on his face, can't pay the bills, rent's due, kids to be fed, whatever. An effective image.
