I am guessing a wider aperture was used... f3.5, f4?? I may be wrong but it looks like the focal point is not quite on the circle.

Had to revisit this one to see what caused the blur. I now see it is not the f stop but it was the shutter speed. 1/25 hand held probably. Very slow shutter to use handheld. I have heard that the rule of thumb for handholding a shot is 1/focal length. So for a 50mm lens your longest shutter speed hand held should be about 1/50. Keep on shooting!

A glimpse of any one moment in a life can be deeply misleading.

Looks like a shot of an animal claw mark, or Wolverine from X-Men. It makes me think it was chasing something like a crowd of people and it left it's mark as everything raced for the exit. Posthumous Worthy??? We'll see.

A very good line created with the wall. I like the way it leads to the boy but he seems somewhat far away and there is some detail lost in his face. Overall the photo is fairly grey, but the boy stands out well from that.

You got the eyes quite sharp with no reflections in the glasses. Good color and light. Very good for sitting on the couch!

Wow... Wow... I can't believe how low this placed. This challenge is incredible. It's as if everything is turned on it's head. I voted this shot a 9. Come on people... this is worthy of so much more.

I had this shot pegged a bspurgeon during voting... I voted a 7 and would have vote higher upon further reflection. Definitely worthy of higher placing! Your photography is appreciated!
