Great shot - but, in response to your forum thread, the one area I feel you could have improved on is the background... it's very busy, very bright, and the colours clash with the main subject demanding equal attention from the eye. A less contrasty background with neutral colours and maybe a more pronounced DoF would help emphasise the detail in the portrait... could be the whiskers are a little overly sharpened too (?) my absolute favourite part of this is the cap - the textures and detail in that are awesome!

Very beautiful photograph. I'm always a sucker for sunrays breaking through the clouds, and combined with this strong composition. Great job!

I gave this shot a 9 and I thought it was fantastic. The definition is superb and I felt the mans face has so much character. The only thing I can say in criticism is that the crop is tight but I liked it. I honestly can't understand the 1-4 scores here. Even if someone did not appreciate the subject the quality of the shot has to be worth a 5-6 minimum.
