Great photograph! The expression is priceless! I really like the background allowing the colors to keep you focusedon the subject. Very nice work!

Nice portrait shot. Like the movement in the fingers. This might work better in sepia. 8.

Image wise, I think this was technically very good, and I'm not sure what critique I can add. I think the dof choice works well, and the down on the ground perspective is effective. Compositionally, perhaps this might have been different and more punchy as a landscape format, perhaps showing the entire legs and a bit more of the background. The water bottle is an anchoring point I think, and it being in the middle of the frame (horizontally, not vertically) seems a bit heavy. Subject matter is an important one, and yes, I feel this image does speak to some extent about it.
On its placing in the challenge, well, I'm not surprised, as this is not the typical DPC pretty image. Kudos to you, I think, for submitting this.

wow, what a capture! I imagine you'll hear from people who like the blur on the hands and those that don't--personally, I'd prefer sharp hands, but indeed I think that no matter which way you went there would me mixed reactions. The expression on his face is magnificently expressive, and the details in the beard just make the shot. I hope this places well.

It is candid I was coming out of the shop where I asked the guys if they have a connector that goes into the 20D remote thing so I can make me a remote, and I had the camera in the hand. Just as I came out of the shop there she was like you see her I don't know who she is. I asked her name but she was shy and wouldn't say nothing.

A lovely capture. I like the girl's impression, and how she holds on the the only available vertical element in the image, the lines on the wall. The slightly rusty red paint on the bike adds to the atmosphere.
