I love the perspective of this! The sepia really adds to it I think.

I agree with Judy. Very nice shot and the editing to match. I probably would have liked to see a wider DOF and also maybe not darkening the whites of his jacket but that's just nitpicking. Really great work here. The best part is the guy's expression and the level of detail you brought out.

I agree on the editing. Very rich tonal range. The image is nice to look at but it would be even better if there was someone in the shot whether it was a model or someone just hanging out.

Perfect angle and DOF you used here. You did an amazing job here capturing the feel of lying on the road with that angle and DOF. I also like the duotone look which helped to minimize the effects of the clipped highlights. About the only thing I'd think about doing is cropping a bit from the left.

I remember liking this one in the challenge but I guess I didn't leave a comment. Speaking of which I liked yours about the cigarette and you don't even mention the gun. Well, I agree this should have scored higher since you did such a great job recreating this. I would definitely suggest brightening it up just a hair but otherwise this is good as is.
