Too much USM if that wasn't it then whatever made this to look like a charcoal sketch is too much. Now if that was what you wanted and you liked it then there is nothing to say except it just isn't my taste. Not a bad image just not what I would enjoy. But don't worry I am not marking you really low, almost every picture in the challenge is at least a 5 or 6, this is higher but not my highest. Be well and good luck.

Perhaps it's partly the exotic (for me) cultural context that makes this image so appealing. The soft rendering of the background wooded hills effectively spotlights the bolder and more heavily contrasted treatment of man and bridge. His bare feet are interesting, as is his lordly pose and gaze. He appears to be outlined by a halo of light, which I suppose will attract many but might repel the processing police here. Maybe it makes him look a little like he's steaming. Maybe he is. 7.

I like this. Nice choice of B/W. However, I find it wanting something that I'm not sure how to express. Since it's B/W I'm inclined to wonder what the shot would look like if it were a close-up of subject. Something about the mountains doesn't pop. They are kind of grainy and flat looking and the subject seems to have a sort of halo. Still, one of the better entries IMO.
