I love the drama of this shot. I feel like I'm watching the climactic scene in a musical. I also like the ambiguity of his expression. He seems to be ready for great joy or great tragedy. One of my two 10s.

a winner...this deserves to win...he's singled out, he's different from the rest, the DOF is great, there's a great sense of atmosphere 9

Great answer to the challenge. He really stands out with sharpness and light - good job. I'd possibly have given it another point if he'd been on thirds, he's just a bit too centred. If you could have lost the woman with him (figuratively speaking of course!)

Compositionally, this is perfect. The DOF is shallow and he is certainly in a crowd. Bravo for not only meeting the challenge, but doing it in an appealing way. Good job. 9

I like this, but the blurring on the left side is a small issue. I would also have liked to see this cropped with the man on thirds.

Wonderful detail of the guy's face. The rich saturation of the yellow jackets really draws your eye to the thumbnail. Great candid shot!

So sorry for not commenting before: this one deserves a book. Not a couple of words!
A wonderful silence. I love the crisp focus, those wonderful tones as they are changing.
Hard to impress me with a landscape photo, but something in this photo makes it very different. This photo is not as tranquil as it looks when you first see it. I am waiting for something to happen. Something exciting! All I have to do is wait and watch.
