Not really sure what the vegetable is but I'm not a fan of the processing here.

I think this is a great way to show texture! The lighting, however, is very distracting - it's too much in some areas and not enough in others.

Yes, but it was taken with a 300mm (not 80mm as it says)

Originally posted by Mephisto: i actually quite like this shot, thought the concept of "body language" was quite obvious for this challenge and am a little confused this ended up so low down in the results. imo the composition works well, with the focus on the man who is about to pass by these teenagers, who on the other side are probably gonna challenge the man by not giving him enough space to pass. it makes me wonder what's gonna happen next anyways. good work!

The lighting should have stronger on the man in focus, you can see his eyes in full res and he really stands out - but it doesn't have the same effect when resized.

I may be dead off here, but this shot has a strong yellow cast on my monitor, which looks like a color error which I got on a recent submission when I failed to change the image to sRGB before saving for web in Photoshop. If I'm right msg me and ill show you the link that fixed my issue.

Ohterwise, i like the framing, but the focus is a bit soft. maybe another USM after saving for web?

Good background bokeh, but over all feels washed out.

The number of people in this means that I am not sure where to look, as all of it competes for attention. Selective Desat unfortuinately isn't allowed. Something to make the three really stand out though would have been good.
