In the Shadows

Not sharp enough, the eyes in particular should be razor sharp. Perhaps some USM? The stripey light is a nice idea, but I'm not fond of the mask effect on the eyes. The forehead looks unnaturally smooth. The expression is not too inspired, particularly the mouth. The background looks a little too burnt in, a little texture would help. Composition feels a little unbalanced, perhaps rule of thirds could have helped?

Every photographer's portfolio should contain a roughly textured fisherman, and here's yours! The PP is a little gratuitous for my taste though, especially in the texture of the clothes which distracts the eyes from the face. The crop could be much tighter, maybe to the bottom of the beard. The current crop takes attention away from the eyes, especially as the eyes aren't using rule of thirds. Shame the circular logo on the cap has been chopped off... I would definitely have included that rather than the upper torso. The light in the background is not good at all and spoils the photo significantly. Other than that, interesting expression and composition.

There are definitely too many flower photos in the world, they get tired very quickly. But this shot is fantastic and really says something new. I love your vision!

I feel a bit dizzy looking at this, it definitely needs straightening. The border makes this worse. Interesting sky, it's good that the buildings are lit by the sun. Not sure about the foreground wake.

This photo makes me sad... desaturating the concrete surroundings has emphasised how artificial his surroundings are.

I didn't know this was still allowed in 'civilised' societies.
