Lovely shot I meant to comment on in voting as it was one of my top picks. It reminded me of one of the two I was picking between for this free study. After voting started I wished I had picked it, but after seeing yours I am sure it would have ended below this. Nice image, Robert.

Great light and processing. Some vulnerability in that stare. You take really good portraits, Niall.

Not exactly in the style of Hayashi -- perhaps an interesting homage. Regardless, a pleasing image.

He's Kicked The Bucket

How are the rest of us supposed to compete with stuff like this? The setting is interesting and the light is great. How you found someone that can kick a bucket like Beckham kicks a ball is beyond me. His kicking form and facial expression are perfect. The position of the bucket and shadow are great. And, I would love to be watching over your shoulder when you process an image like this. Congrats on the well deserved blue hand and ribbon.
