One fine image that captures this man's gritty life. The slight oversharpness fits the composition well.

What makes this one of the best images in this challene is the shallow focus combined with the perfect focus on the right side eye. High technical quality.

Good use of themed color in a well thought out arrangement. Good perspective. The contast is a little weak for showing the shape of the glasses and the focus is on the soft side.

Good composition. Lighting is decent and there are no overexposed areas. You might consider a slightly higher f/stop for this shot to assure the nearest potato is in sharper focus. There is some slight haloing on the top potatoe's edge and the tones of the background are not quite balanced.

Like the perspective of this shot. Lighting is excellent. It lacks the usual digital defects often seen in DPC images. Generally speaking the focused area on an image attracts the eye. In this case it is drawn to the word "KitchenAid" moreso than the cookie dough. Most voters will see that word is not level and that it draws attention away from the food part of the image and vote it lower as a result.
