First, I really like the use of B&W in this picture - nice tonal range and clarity. I think this met the challenge well but I suspect some wanted the subject more posed and aware he's being photographed.

I gave this a 6 in voting. I didn't see your comment in the forum, but I really liked the expressions on both the hairdresser and the customer. I also really liked that these are real people in real time, and the composition is very good. Other than the blur issue, you might have positioned yourself just enough to get rid of the light switch. I do like the poster behind the hairdresser - adds to the "environment". Hopefully you'll take a copy to your hairdresser - I'm betting she'll love it!

Very good colors and textures captured here. I like the little white blooms just off in the distance. The leaf in the lower right is a bit distracting but what can you do about them? Nice capture!

I love this shot and I suspect he will, too. Most definitely "in his environment" - much moreso than a closeup would be, particularly given his profession! Very, very nice work!

Per your comments, I actually prefer this version with the distortion over the one that's straightened post processing. The "distortion" kind of adds to the picture in my humble opinion.

Awesome picture - I can easily picture this as a full-page color shot in a travel brochure! Congrats on the ribbon, too!

Really nice cat picture! I especially like the crispness both in focus and texture of the leaves compared with the softness of her fur. Great looking cat, too!

Checkers Anyone?

Comment:
Image is very "flat" ie not much contrast and seems overexposed and grainy.

Just a bit dark and picture size is much smaller than what is allowed. Ask in the forums if you need help sizing the picture so you take full advantage of the 640 pixels on the longest side.

Capture

Cap needs to be a bit sharper in focus. Backdround doesn't really contribute positively to the image.

Crap! Did it again! (aka: getting in touch with your inner lens cap)

Hey, at least this LOOKS like the inside of a lens cap.
