Interesting composition. I wish the true horizon was level and the lamp in the reflection absent. Still, nicely seen!

I´m not sure about this one, dont think it fits the challenge. Too many distracting lines in this.

What is up there?

Hi Lastef...

This is an interesting composition, but it also seems to be one that needs some sort of context other than what is provided to make it more interesting. When photographing people for a challenge, (or for anything in fact) you need to create something that helps a third-party viewer identify with your subject in some way. You need to make me interested in who I see. As far as your post processing is concerned, if you achieved what you wanted, it's fine. The color hues here are a bit strange for me. The skin tones don't seem normal and there is a blue/green cast throughout the rest of the image, including his hair. There is nothing wrong with doing things this way, but they need to serve a visible and identifiable purpose when posting them for public review most likely.

Off center and lack of sharp focus detract from this image

I think this photo could have done a lot better, but didn't for two reasons: (1) it's too small, and (2) it's too dark. I'm glad you didn't burn anything in, because it certainly doesn't need to get darker! Making it bigger and bringing out some foreground detail (which probably would have been possible within basic editing), and maybe sharpening it a bit, would, I think, turn this into a really stunning picture.
