I don't know if I'm more mesmerized by the eye or by the shape whithin the catchlight in the eye. Perhaps that was the goal... if so it worked wonderfully. If not, you need to watch the catchlights and you got a bump in your score for a cool mistake :-)

From a technical perspective I really like how the lighter area it the right highlights your subject and draw the eye to them. The nice fade off to the right and left keeps the eyes focused on the subject while the open pavement isolates the man and boy as a pair. But, I liked it before I looked for all of that so it's just a great image.

First of all, I love the beautiful tones in this images. But adding the boy and the camel and then composing them as you have done here really kicks this up another notch. (9 for now, but maybe a 10 when I make my final pass)

A very bold move posting this up as a challenge image, but I like things a little different so I'm going with a 7 or 8.

Very cool shot! It took me a second to realize a leg was up rather missing, but that's minor and maybe just my problem. (7)

Fun image and an interesting interpretation of 'skin.'

Fun pose, nice lighting and wonderful color. I'm curious which RAW conversion you are using with you 40D? I'm been struggling a big with skin tones since moving up from the 30D.

Wonderful shot... you've given me the motivation to try working with layers, again.

Cool background and lighting, but I don't know that the model's expression draws the viewer in. This is more of a discussion point that a criticism because I have run into similar situations recently. You don't want a smiley portrait but you do still want an open and inviting expression. Curious about your thoughts, but like the image...
