Funny how you can see the reflection of the photographer in one reflection, but not the other. Overall I like this capture and the gritty feel of it.

Subject is actually interesting and the background bokeh is nice ... hard to get past the overexposed highlights however.

Sorry, don't really care for the scratchy "texture" applied to this.

Sorry, but this looks like a mess. Substantially overboard with the texture application.

I love Cracker Barrel! Like the light ... not so much the tilt (could use a little perspective straightening).

Richard - I was one of the 39 'under average' voters on this photo. The reason for my vote of 4 on this was because of the lack of detail in the critical area of the face. That and the amount of noise in the photo. I first thought that the photo may have been underexposed and pulled back, which would have introduced more noise, but after seeing the entry details I see it's more likely the ISO of 3200.
