Terribly over-sharpened unfortunately. [no vote]

eta: You know what? I'll take that comment back. I'm almost certain now it's my monitor over-sharpening everything. Apologies if I've left you scratching your head over my initial observation.

I like the texture here but the blowout to the right keeps pulling my eye away.

Comment by EL-ROI:
The repetition is so very interesting and the disappearing perspective is pretty cool too. It has good shadow but the highlights are very blown out. I don't suppose it matters much due to the fact that all you need to see is in the central part of the photo. How can this be improved? If there were a way to get that disappearing perspective arranged diagonally ocross the field of view, it would be stronger still compositionally... but I wouldn't know how to do that.

Cool perspective, pleasing tones. I would be interested in seeing this in color. I wonder if it would be a more dynamic picture overall. Granted it would get you a really low score considering the challenge - but just saying for outside the challenge description. No vote - just commenting.

Very dramatic, but a little more separation between his clothes and the background would make him look less like a floating torso.

Great texture. The low branches make me want to see what is beyond them. Nicely seen.

I think this is a great composition. There is a greenish color-cast on the girl, though. Still, nicely done.
