As well as the non visible words. Sorry, but the challenge was to have words, and there are none. Hence my low score.

This is a good character portrait, but I'm sorry to say, but it's way outside the challenge...

Looks like you've gota bit of motion blur in this shot, will be interested to see what iso/shutter/apeture you were using. Obviously a reasonably small F number/large apeture as the background is nicely blurred, but I wonder if you couldn't have changed your ISO setting up a couple of notches, or pushed it -1 stop? The noice/grain of higher ISO would not have hurt this shot at all, and may have enhanced it a little, and pushing 1 or even 1.5 stops would have been OK as well as the shirt looks a little over exposed.

Dunno what sort of camera you have, but on mine I can take a 'test' metering without looking through the viewfinder, to see what shutter speed I'm metering, and it shows on the LCD on top of the camera, so I can change settings before annoying the 'model' by pointing the obviously at them.

Really nice photo, missed the challenge brief by a country mile, still giving it a 5 as I'm jealous of anyone who has the guts to do street photography like this.. :-).

This is one of the best picture i ever seen in this challenge. The title expresses the way how the man is and mood gives it all. and i like that way how the picture is dual tone to create the look of the picture. Great job Gave you a **10**

Good portrait, and his story is likely long, however it does not meet the challenge as I interpreted it.

A great portrait - well done sepia. But wordless.
