Greetings from the Critique Club..

Hi Train...

This is an excellent portrait. It's simple and straightforward. The uniform and had create some interest for me as a viewer, even thought I'm not acquainted with the subject in any way. Viewing the image makes me wonder about this man's career. The look in his eyes tells me that he probably has a lot of stories to share.

The only room for improvement that I see is some possible cleanup of the background on the right side of the image.

I gave this photo a 10... excellent work :)

Hi Smellyfish...

This is a cute shot, but it doesn't seem to hold any particular value to me as a viewer. There are no glaring flaws in it anywhere that really detract from the image. The shadow under the chin is the only thing that particularly catches my attention. It creates a sharp contrast that is eye-catching and draws my attention away from the eyes.

Portrait work that is posted to a challenge like this really needs to have some element(s) that snare the viewer's imagination in some way, since we are not acquainted with the subject.

This is a beautiful industrial landscape. I love the 'large sun' effect. I think the only improvement possible in this image would be sharpness. Excellent work... = 10
