Jimmy, I am so glad to read my confusion made your week :-). I thought I knew who the author was and I did not vote for it, but like Pasta said, this was a serious contender for a ribbon. I am surprised it did not finish at least in the top 5. Keep up the excellent work.

nice soft focus comp...definitely not the kind of focusing that would be appreciated by the dpc community.

although it is not possible to see their eyes(both eyes), the expressions tell us enough about their mood to make this a good story-teller.

going back to the technics used here...Ihave an issue with the bg, I mean how it looks after processing, kind of creamy, like a ruined of-camera bokeh.. maybe too much combined sharpenning and NR filtering?

I think you could have taken more advantage of the dramatism of the rugged face with a tighter crop on the left side. Square crop cutting left side by the edge of shoulder, and right side a litle right of the ear, looks great, end helps to drive attention to the expression and skin texture.

I do not see how the white border adds to the image. Still a good portrait..7

Nice action capture, despite the harsh shadows.
