A little too dark on his face. However the crop and compostition is great and I can just see enough of his eyes to see the despair...

I really like this photograph. It is certainly is a good example of how to frame the subject. The texture found on the columns adds something and the line of the stairs and sloping pavement is also interesting. The man is in shadow to a certain extent, but I think it adds to the atmosphere. One problem is I did not really undersand the title and wondered if the photograph really did exhibit despair. The man looks to be at complete peace.

Very nice photograph though.

Nice composition, nice texture on the pillars - but it looks like trees in the back to me, however much colour's been taken out. Bit cheeky?

I like the idea and the composition works for me. How did you get the B/W background without "spot editing?"

Comment by PTLParsons:
From years of experience this does not look like a healthy one. Or did you take out a lot of the color. And by the way, it's a rooster. From his feathers on his back and chest, the color and condition of his beak, and the color of his rib and comb, he is not very healthy. We wouldn't even cook this kind for Sunday dinner. Just thought I'd pass that on FYI. But the photo is good technically speaking. You get a 6 for the photo but I hurt for the subject. Honestly it hurts to look at him.

that hen looks grumpy. I would have liked a little more contrast and beter lighting, but thats not your fault, I'm sure you didn't want to disturb it.

What a great expression on this hen! I like the colors and contrasts. Experiment with raising or lowering your camera so that the photo isn't split right in the middle by the line contrasting the straw and the blackness above.

A beautiful image and well composed.I have never worked with an infra-red filter but I really like the effect that it gives. I read some of the comments that others have made, especially the ones about not meeting the challenge. If your like me I really don't worry about my score, but care about people liking the image I present. This image is definitely a winner. Great job.
