Nice idea. Not everyone pays their street models. A closer shot might have been better.

This image doesn't say down-trodden to me and I'm not sure what you mean by $5 richer (I'm guessing you gave him $5 to pose?) Nice portrait, but not really news to me.

Somehow I almost missed this one in my Trading Post critiques - sorry. I gave this shot a 5, and to be honest that was probably a little harsh, second view says "6". It's almost monochromatic, in my eye, and there's a little too much yellow. The edge of the vertical board that the birdhouse is sitting on has something wierd going on, can't tell if it's color related or if it's something actually in the photo.

It SEEMS that a larger aperture to blur the background to obliteration would help this. I'm continually distracted by all that color back there. Looks like you've done some nice work to get good solid "edges" in the photo, but the background bothers me.

I do like the overall composition, with the exception of that tree limb poking into the side of the subject.

Paid him $5 to take the photo? Now that's helping the local economy! Nice tones and a priceless expression.

Sorry, this is gonna be a stream of random thoughts rather than anything proper. Struggling to catch up last entries before rollover. Will be better next week :)

This has a really nice, fantasy-woodland feel to it - partly the colours, partly the glow filter. It has a nice, cosy nostalgic feel to it. I like the composition, with the diagonal leading to the focus on a third.

I would prefer a shallower DOF so that dof and glow worked together, rather than just the glow.

Actually, the more I look at it, the more it seems to have a yellow hue slightly like others have pointed out.

I'm surprised it didnt do better tbh
