I started voting this as a 9 probably because of the streak of 10's I had given shortly but looking at other 9's I decided to upgrade my vote.

Another incredible picture in the best challenge I've seen since I joined. I wonder how much PP was involved...

Greetings from the Critique Club!

Interesting image that really makes you go hmmm. Its certainly has a certain edge to it and perhaps some might have felt a bit uncomfortable with it. Technically the image is solid: exposure is good and I like the fall of the light on the edges that creates the vignette.

The scene itself is a little lackluster and the window behind the subject (you?) might be considered a distraction. I think that the image might be more effective if the background more closely matched the mood you were trying to set. A guy sitting on a couch with a gas mask? weird. A guy sitting on a couch in an abandoned warehouse? Pretty damn cool. Naturally that would be a little tougher to arrange...

In terms of the challenge theme my opinion is that its just fine it works but its not as strong of connection as it might have been. Central compostion was used but the question is: Was it the best choice? Maybe maybe not.

Ovwerall a pretty solid image and one explored an interesting concept.

A very interesting portrait indeed. Don't be afraid to get closer to your subject. Show the detail!
