Hey! I remember that dude! He was one of the first pxleyes contests I ever participated in!

Rastafari, dreadlocks or something like that...

Looks pretty good...cropping out his beard was a good idea...wouldn't have matched the hair...nice choice to go grayscale, too. Good luck.

welldone good luck

nice idea

My one suggestion is to watch some of the lack of shadow from the hair on the man's face

Agrees with jpmackey

Good idea, but pretty dark, and the beanstalk doesn't look rooted in the ground. Study pics of trees to see root structure as in http://www.pxleyes.com/picture/9062/Strange-fu---.html

nice work...

Interesting use of source

SBS would have been nice.

nice and scraaaary....

creepy... nice idea

very well done!!!!

whoever leaves that much hair on soap needs to shave... simple

if its a fear of washing wouldn't be the soap dry and even cracked (nice idea)

too true reap, but it's the fear of washing with soap that has hair on it, so the soap would have hair recently left on it by someone else, now that I think about it, I can see why that would be a phobia, oh man, I just grossed my self out by thinking about it, OMG YUCK (What have I done? Oh the humanity)

Poor guy... I don't know if it was the best technique used, but you were the best psychologist, certainly!

ps: I am only child too, but thanks to God I don't have anything like that!

Whoever leaves that much hair on the soap needs to see a doctor.....

Crazy idea..lol...good luck author

nice job

good idea and nicely done.. good luck to you...

good background story about it.. i didn't know there was such a phobia.. hhmm.. anyways.. nice entry and congratulations for getting your friend out of this wierd and strange phobia..

I love the idea but you'd probably be better off without the strange background and putting it in a more mundane setting. Just my opinion.

Great story nice work and good luck Author

nice xD
