CRITIQUE CLUB!

good crop that's tight on the face. focus is pretty good as well, and the helmet helps tell a bit of a story.

suggestions for improvement:

- the harsh midday lighting is extremely uneven and creates a wierd, bright "mask" over part of his face. taking this out of the direct sunlight would really help.

- the unusual angle doesn't really help the photo. instead of focusing on this man's face and eyes and wondering what his story is, i find myself thinking "man, he hasn't shaved and i wonder what happened to the back of his face?"

- we're looking almost straight on to this person. having him turn a bit more and then turn his head back toward the camera might be a more interesting pose.

a different pose with more diffuse lighting would help this out immensely. don't give up -- keep trying. using the polarizer definitely helped out here.

Nice B&W. The shiny chrome makes it great, really nice contrast.

Great face on the dog. I commend people who can capture an expression on animals.
