harsh light likely from shooting near midday. Composition works. The title is a bit on the goofy side. 5

Nice dramatic lighting. But I do think the elbow is a bit bright. It kind of distracts from the face.

Nice portrait to fit the challenge, even the Diagonal challenge. Good dramatic lighting, clarity, and sharpness. For this challenge, sacrificing the nice beard and mustache would probably gain you a point.

I thought it was a funny shot and not badly setup as well. I gave you a 7 and I'd have happily seen it in the top 10 or 20.

That is one reason why I never enter contests here. ;)

Comment by eschelar:
That's disgusting. Sadly, it reminds me of a friend of my mother's whose husband deliberately sabotaged his prophylactics because he wanted children and didn't give a ____ about what his wife thought.

He had 4 children this way, one of which has severe physical handicaps, one of which has moderate ADD and the other two are fairly normal teenagers...

Of course he left her for a younger woman after his deeds were done and the story is actually much longer and much more heartbreaking than this, but that's what it reminds me of.

It's also a good reminder for the reality of the responsibility that people undergo when engaging in sex. Especially youngsters who have little real education in such matters.
