well, here the image work. there are only two small problems. 1) see in the lower side of the image it's obliquos perhaps for an incorrect position of the photographer 2) a bit over exposed on the top (on the righr where start the building) 3) in advanced editing you can clone out the tree on the left. I like the choice for an black and white. 8.

Really like this. Feel its tilted to one side but you probably have a million comments on that. Excellent portrait and the vignetting works very well here. Tonal range excellent and conversion well done. DOF enhances focus. 9 - good luck in the challenge!

This is beautiful. It's interesting that 1 min. is enough to make the stars streak. My camera maxes out at 15 sec., so I haven't seen that effect before.

Great symmetry. Love the geometric and human mix. Nice.

Comment by CNovack:
Overall this is a great composition! I LOVE the position of the elements not to mention the poise of the model and he sits there holding the football and contemplating on a past game or a game about to be played (and I am not a big fan of watching sports:-) ). The expression on his face is perfect - he is lost deep in thought and the viewer knows that it is because he is getting his "head in the game". Lighting and B&W tones are spot on and fantastic on this photo. My only critique on this photo is that you could have cropped it closer. The building in the background behind him does nothing for the overall composition - it is a distraction. You want to keep the focus on your main subject which is this football player lost in thought.
