very nice. i like the creative de-focusing here, as well as the almost two-tone nature of the piece. very evocative, beautiful...

@paulski: Thanks so much paulski! I've always wanted to try my hand as portraits, but with a twist. Finding a willing model has always been an issue though.
Nice, I like how the portrait almost, but not quite, becomes secondary to all that's going on with the texture of the grain/noise and the graphic quality of all the negative space. I get the feeling of being unglued - like after a night of heavy drinking when you wake up and aren't quite all there for the rest of the day.
Wonderful b_w, I feel a lot of gentleness and something wild and evocative at the same time :)
Lynch again, do you know his photographic work?

@Phototherapy: Thanks so much, your words are appreciated. A very personal image for me, revealing of emotion...or perhaps I'm just too close to it. No...I do not know the photographs of Lynch, but now I am intrigued!
