I like the way you broke up the man's face, and the colors are perfect. I am kinda distracted, though, by the man being so familiar: it's Richard Burton, isn't it?
This is a great collage, but I do think it would've been better if the man were not recognizable. Maybe I'm being silly about this, but I'm always squeamish about using celebrities in collages: they bring in such a heavy freight of associations (in this case, Elizabeth Taylor's character in that movie) that sometimes they overwhelm the subtle juxtaposition in the collage. Just thought...
This is powerful, love it!
