Given the theme, this image is a bit unsurprising. Also, (1) the black lines in the numbers are a bit dirty, and (2) the black spots in what should be white areas, which takes away from the general cleaniliness of the photo. Otherwise, this is a fine photo. 5

I, too, am commenting from the thread.

I think that the cropping in the entry photo is much stronger than the full-colour version as it really emphasises the face wonderfully. However, the desaturisation works against you as the head blends into the background quite a bit. Having said that, the strong, blue background rather overpowers the face in the colour version. Desaturisation could work, but on different colours for different reasons.

A much wider f-stop would have blurred the distracting background.

Of course this photo is fantastic. My only gripe is with using a very bright shirt which takes a lot away from the face. 8

The right side of the face is blown out and there appears to be too much neatimage used. Other than that, this is a good capture with a lovely expression. 5

Surely it should be black on top for the raunchy Saturday night and white on the bottom for the church?

As a studio shot, this is very well done. As an image, it leaves me cold, though. 5

Lovely graphic. However, you've got a good deal of space at the bottom but none at the top. I feel that there needs to be more space on top. Also the white border rather takes the eye away from smoke.
