The contrast blows a lot of detail here. The composition is quite centered as well. 4

This would have been a great pet portrait, but I'm afraid the "dirt" is not so obvious in this image. Although it's a good image, I'm afraid I must vote lower than I normally would on this because in my eyes it .... uhm..... I hate to say it.... DNMC. - 4

Good B&W but not dirty enough.

You deserved better than the score you got, and you deserve at least one positive comment.

This photo spoke to me, and I gave it a 6. I love seeing that a place like this still exists. Those two handicap signs (as big as the name of the town) are so silly, as if a person in a wheel chair couldn't figure out they should use the ramp. I think this shot is amusing and charming.

To make this a better photo I recommend placing the tree to the side. This way it appears the tree is coming out of the gentleman's back. Also a closer crop to get rid of the chair, lamps, coats and books would have been better.

I love the expression on his face. The lighting is a bit harsh though :(

Very busy, moving in closer or zooming in tighter would help eliminate the distracting background clutter.

Cropping this vertically would help to remove the background clutter (chairs, book case, coats, lamps etc and would tend to favour the vertical subjects (people/ xmas tree)
