Nice photo, looks more like what the H*ll. The lack of detail in the face (objectively speaking) could of been fixed with a tighter photo. The rest of the picture overrides the target. I would of moved him to the right, or cropped him right. The viewer's right. 6.

LOL, being an ex-circus worker I know the feeling. He looks like he's seen lots of hard years, and it's just another day lost to him.

wonderful contrast between the blue and green +brown around it. Nice composition as well... on the left it looks the leaves look a bit smudged for some reason especially since there are some that are in focus which accentuate the differences between them, i think i would suggest just blurring everything on the left. good image though. 8

While I like the choice of your subject and colors, I find the blades surrounding it distracting.. a different angle might have helped..6.

Nice DOF here, gives the feeling that it was found as a surprise and gives a feeling of the environment it is in. Some people might tell you that the photo is too dark. I like dark and think you did an excellent job with the exposure and processing.
