My only note for this capture--and I mean it as a compliment more than a sideways critique--is that I wish the drainage cover in the lower right had been cloned out. That ferocious expression is incredible, and this composition is extremely effective for me.

Composition: 7
Technical: 8
Creativity: 6
Appeal: 7 - Can't help but want the color in this. Still VERY strong in your BW edit.
Challenge: 5 - I give everyone a 5 in this category for Free Study for obvious reasons
Overall Calculated Average Score: 7 - I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that the color version made it difficult for the main guy here to stand out. Still, I really hope you'll post the color version in your notes or in the Outtakes thread.

Hope this was helpful.

This is simply fabulous. Arguably underrated in this challenge (the backlighting is definitely contre-jour to my eye). But for me one of the clear standouts.

the perfectly sharp stump on the right ruins the illusion of motion panning.

I love that the foreground out of focus pieces throw you off for a second until your eyes are lead through the rest of the picture.
