This one's kinda fun. I like the color and the off centered subject. I think I'd work on contrast and/or levels to enrich the overall tones.

If this was a little sharper/crisper, I could see this as the shot. His expression while dragging on the cigar is pure satisfaction and totally "I enjoy this!" or "This is what I am about..." Being closer the balance is much better with the negative space. The pose is relaxed in appearance and he looks at ease - just being himself.

A little too distant for your subject in my opinion. He has a strong profile and a lot of character in his presence. This kind of leaves him trying to compensate for the large negative space. Still a nice composition and well shot. It certainly speaks to a mood and personality. Nice image.

I like the composition and colours of this one a lot. However the focus on your friend does'nt seem to be sharp enough especially compared to some of your other photos in the series

I like the lines in this photo and the way you follow the waterway. The sky keeps distracting me. For some reason the color just doesn't seem quite right with the light in the rest of the picture...

Very odd feel to this. I like how strange and original it is thoughâ€Â¦can see it took a bit of brain power to make it happen. Nitpicking I would have not cut the top of the photo so close to the handâ€Â¦given it a little more room. Thinking your choice of blue to symbolize coldness or even lifelessness has a certain weight to the imageâ€Â¦other just might think it looks too weird. I think you did a great job shooting for the challenge and being creative at the same time.
