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: I really like the idea behind this shot - the contre-jour composition, the fill light on the face, the upward curve of the road (most of all) and the near-monochrome coloration. I like the texture of the road too and the car at the top is a treat.

Critical stuff: Although I quite like the tone-mapped appearance of the background, I'm not so keen about the tone-mapped subject. I also think he pose/stance looks a little awkward.

Overall: This is a very interesting shot though and one that I like a lot.

Very nice, although with a portrait like this I prefer a bit of light on the background so it's not totally black. I like the pose and the crop though.

Great lighting and use of negative space.

Beautiful work, you handle the exposure on both the bg and your subject nicely.

She is so pretty! I like the way her eyes have a gleam, but not the huge obvious softbox reflection that so often appears..
