Cool. There is oblivion all over this photograph. I'll start it at 7

It's too dark to properly present the illusion that this is a man. It's just rope in a blob right now.

Is that vignetting? It looks bizarre, and works against the casual feeling of the photo.

great texture. No subject to speak of. My kind of picture! I'll start this at 7.

The rule of thirds does not say to leave a third of your picture blank. Otherwise a pretty cool portrait, although the model is a little self-conscious. But I might not think that with a better composition. 6

are those reflections in the background? I like the mysteriousness of the background, and the way your flower is resting his weight on his chin. 7

I like how the rocks create textural interest without asserting themselves as a subject, making this a subjectless photo, making this profound and able to lose the viewer within itself. 7

Good triangular composition. Funny, there's so much talk of rule-of-thirds but hardly anyone mentions triangles. Great kids with wonderfully contrasting expressions. The two become so much more than the sum of their parts. I love how the "somber" one is so clearly repressing a laugh, or at least a smile. I'll start this at 8.
