The flare reduces the score on this one.

Long exposure against a night sky? Interesting.

I think that's the moon under the barbed wire, but it's hard to tell. I'd recommend stepping way back and zooming in much more.

Great concept, however I do have to agree with the comment about the small boots. (the bright spots on the end of the collar look almost like spooky eyes.. maybe a cat? LOL )

Great job to keep the facial features natural while getting the high C effect in the hat and shirt.

Hey, I recognize this outfit from the Cowboy challenge. Looks better on you than on the hanger. :) Good shot Brian. Nice high contrast, especially in the hat, shirt, and collar tip. I like your title too.

I like the shot the way it is, but I wonder if you had cropped it down to a standard portrait (including the hat and collar point) if it would have scored higher for this High Contrast challenge.

I like the contrast, the hat, shirt, and bolo tie. I think the image would have been much more effective without the tiny boots, which are very distracting.

Very nice Brian. I like the way everything sweeps up from the lower left to the upper right. The colors and light are beautiful, and so many stars!

I really like this set up, but why are the boots so small?
