This is a fun location and an interesting subject. Personally I think some work in post could have taken this from good to great. A simple crop to eliminate the bright eye grabber in the upper right and a vignette to bring the attention back to center are a couple of thoughts at first glance. Good luck in the challenge.

This was my Top Pick for the challenge - I love the fact that it is a natural versus set-up/studio photo. Nicely seen and well captured!

50th?! Sub-6? Wow. FWIW, I thought it was a very well captured image.

:-) The referee is the subject - the one that is being shown as the 'Environmental Portrait'. The other people in this are elements of his 'environment'.

I like this. I like the composition, I like the B&W treatment, etc... The one thing, honestly, that eludes me is the connection to the challenge theme. At first I thought it was another 'light leak' type hook, but the title doesn't fit with that. Is the title a clue as to the 'Leaks' connection?
