I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.

Positives: This is a spectacular portrait - the light and the skin texture is superb. The subtle coloration supports the image beautifully, as does the highly effective vignette.

Critical stuff: Nothing at all.

Overall: Top notch, one of the best portrait images I've seen for a while.

A bit oversaturated.

I think the processing on his skin is OTT. It's effective for this shot, what with a superb background and the sax popping and great lighting. I'd like to see an outtake but with less Plugin magic? 7.

My pick for the blue (otherwise known as a kiss of death). Fantastic tones and details.

I like the combination of sharpness and dreaminess in this photo.

I love the lighting, and the grayish, narrow palette is beautiful, but the speckling on the face and head is just a bit too weird for me.
