Old Growth, New Growth

I actually enjoy the light neutral tones more than the greens. I would suggest toning down the greens. Normally my opinion doesn't count for much, but I am part of the core audience for shots like this. :)

this would be so much more compelling if I could just imagine that the model were doing something, anything, besides posing for a picture.

good choice to use a long exposure. the motion blur adds more interest to the picture and also gives a sense of the city's energy.

Heir To The Throne

Comment:
the black border creates a strange effect. since it is extending the darkness, it makes him look like the top half of his head is gone, or covered. but that's a small matter. another small matter is the creases on his shirt. regardless of the cause, it makes the shirt look new which makes it seem like a "dramatization." It works against the illusion you're creating. Everything else is fine, though. You've got a moody, noirish shot with a protagonist we want to know more about(for our own safety, perhaps).

you have what seems like an unintentionally funny effect, with those pipes in the background spitting water on your subject.

DNMC This!

you get an automatic 7 for making me laugh, but this is also a nicely composed shot with exciting shadows and a great sense of "flatness"

sorry, I skipped voting this challenge, otherwise I'd have given this a high score. a visually thrilling photo (that actually scored pretty well without me)!!
