His smile stands out from the others

Whose smile stands out? If one stands out for you it might be perhaps it is someone you care for. I would call this a nice snapshot, definitely a keeper for a scrapbook, but not much here to visually engage an impartial viewer.

You'll probably get a lot of comments about those power lines, but I sort of like them, maybe because they made this seem more candid.

Hmmmm, he doesn't really look all that WASPy to me. But a handsome portrait nevertheless.

One of the few "10's" I voted this challenge. Congrats on making the top twenty and on a beautiful, uncontrived photo.

I originally worried your photo moved too far into non-photograph territory, so despite its beauty I gave it an 8. Now I'd like to add it to my favorites. Does that make me flexible or sheep-like? Anyway, sincerely glad to see this did so well!

I gave this an 8, I should have given it a 9 or 10. The expression and fake spider make this so funny, though it would be interesting to see with a real spider. Good lighting and color palette. I agree the hair should stand up a little straighter for full affect. Despite whatever "flaws" this has I'm adding it to my favorites.

Congratulations. I was one of your 47 tens. :-)
Congrats also on reaching one of the goals listed in your profile!

Edit: you really have to wonder about that "1" vote (shakes head).

Congratulations on your ribbon. Beautiful photo. By the way, I want you to know I added you to my favorite photographers list yesterday before this challenge ended. Nice coincidence!

This is the second challenge in a row where I gave out only three "10" votes and once again yours was one of them! The other was for your butterfly in the insect challenge. I'll have to take a look at your other work sometime. Cheers,

You have ruined my theory that the longer the caption, the poorer the photograph. This is sweet, clever, and fits the challenge in a unique way.
